Wellist Week, a global platform advancing the future of wellness as both an industry and a public good, today announced a landmark partnership with the Miami Design District, which will serve as the official venue partner for Wellist Week 2026, taking place April 13–19, 2026 across Miami.
As part of the partnership, Miami Design District will host the Wellist Forum, a convening of global leaders, alongside a robust program of public talks, cultural experiences and open-access activations throughout the District. Together, the collaboration positions wellness not as a trend or a luxury, but as essential infrastructure for civic life, cultural leadership and long-term human flourishing.
Wellist Week convenes leaders across business, science, medicine, culture and community to reframe how wellness is built, governed and experienced. Designed as both a high-level global conference and a citywide celebration open to the public, Wellist fosters collaboration across sectors and champions the belief that wellness is a shared responsibility and a human birthright.
“The Design District has always been about shaping what comes next—creatively, culturally, and socially,” said Craig Robins, Founder and CEO of the Miami Design District. “Wellist represents a thoughtful and substantive approach to wellness, grounded in rigor, inclusion, and long-term impact. Hosting Wellist Week is not about programming for a moment, but about embedding wellbeing as a meaningful and lasting pillar of our community.”
The partnership is further supported by The Moore’s forthcoming Healthy Longevity Clinic, reflecting a shared commitment to evidence-based, integrative approaches to long-term health and human performance. Scheduled to open this spring on the second floor of The Moore, the clinic introduces a new model for delivering wellness with rigor, accessibility and integrity, bridging science, medicine and lived experience.
“This partnership felt aligned from the start,” said Rich Santelises, Chief Growth Officer of the Healthy Longevity Clinic & Lounge. “Wellist is bringing serious thinkers and practitioners together across medicine, science, culture, and community to ask better questions about how we live and age. That spirit of collaboration and stewardship closely mirrors how we’re approaching longevity here in Miami Design District.”
In conjunction with the partnership announcement, Wellist also revealed a new wave of speakers confirmed for its 2026 program, including:
- Dr. Jonathan Leary, Founder & CEO, Remedy Place
- Marc Mastronadi, President, Equinox Fitness
- Nicolas Chammas, Chief Financial Officer, Eight Sleep
- Dr. Lisa Miller, New York Times bestselling author and Professor, Columbia University
- Tino DeMartino, Head of Wellness, Soho House North America
“We’re deeply grateful to Miami Design District for showing up with integrity, not optics,” said Myk Likhov, Founder of Wellist. “This partnership reflects a genuine alignment of values. Miami Design District isn’t just hosting Wellist Week; it’s actively participating in the work of redefining wellness as something grounded, evidence-based, culturally alive, and accessible. That level of commitment matters.”
Blending science and evidence with devotion, spirit and lived wisdom, Wellist Week exists to orient leaders toward stewardship, long-term value creation, and the wellbeing of people and planet alike. Programming throughout the week will include curated forums, private roundtables, public conversations, cultural programming and citywide activations, many of which will take place throughout Miami Design District.
Additional speakers, partners and programming details will be announced in the coming months.
