Tom Brady, Andrew Huberman and roughly 150 other doctors, researchers, coaches and authors are coming to downtown West Palm Beach next month. Eudēmonia, a four-day health and longevity summit that bills itself as the largest consumer well-being gathering in the world, runs Nov. 5 through 8 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. And for the first time, two of its nights are open to anyone with a ticket, no summit badge required: a sunset 5K along the Intracoastal that ends at a SOFI TUKKER show, and a concert by The Head and the Heart at the Meyer Amphitheater.

This is the summit's third year, and organizers expect more than 8,000 people. That is a lot of lanyards for one downtown, and it means that for a long weekend in early November, West Palm Beach is the place where much of the country's wellness conversation is happening in person.

Who is on the lineup

The roster leans hard on names people already follow on podcasts and bookshelves. Andrew Huberman is speaking on longevity and aging. Tom Brady is there for performance, with a session on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 5, from 2 to 3 p.m. that is part of the four-day badges.

Around them is a bench of specialists, grouped by the summit's own topics:

  • Women's longevity and hormones: Vonda Wright, Jessica Shepherd and Natalie Crawford.
  • Heart, gut and food: Jeremy London on cardiovascular health, William Bulsiewicz on the microbiome and Simon Hill on nutrition.
  • Brain and sleep: Louisa Nicola on brain health and Kristen Holmes on sleep.
  • Mindset and performance: Rich Roll on resilience, plus Michael Easter, Julius Thomas and Devon Levesque, with Gabrielle Bernstein on spirituality.
  • The frontier: Robin Berzin on functional medicine, Gary Brecka on biohacking and Naveen Jain on AI and the future of health.

Over the three main days the program runs through longevity, metabolism, heart health, sleep, mental health, hormone therapy and supplements, with movement classes, hands-on treatments and an expo hall called EXPOSŌME where health tech companies show what they are building.

The nights anyone can go to

The bigger news for people who live here is the new evening series, Eudēmonia at Night, presented with Related Ross. Both nights are at the Meyer Amphitheater, 104 Datura St., on the downtown waterfront, and both are sold to the public separately from the summit.

Friday, Nov. 6: Run the Night 5K with SOFI TUKKER. Doors open at 5 p.m., with bib pickup from 5:30. The run sets off from the amphitheater at 7 p.m., follows the Intracoastal and loops back into the venue, where there is food and an opening act at 8, then the Grammy-nominated dance duo SOFI TUKKER at 8:30. Nobody is timing you, and walking the course is fine; the organizers are clear that the point is getting outside with friends and then dancing. General admission is $99 and covers both the 5K and the concert. The $179 VIP tier, with a viewing deck and private bars, is already sold out.

Saturday, Nov. 7: The Head and the Heart. The indie folk band plays a sunset show on the water, with doors at 6 p.m., an opener at 8 and the headliner at 8:30. General admission is listed at $69, and a $149 VIP ticket adds a viewing deck, private cocktail and mocktail bars, food samples and private restrooms.

The two nights are ticketed separately, and neither ticket gets you into the summit. The one crossover is the top summit badge, which includes VIP access to both shows.

What the summit itself costs

Eudēmonia is not a cheap weekend, and it does not pretend to be. A standard four-day badge is $1,099 and includes drop-in access to talks, classes and the expo, the Thursday Brady session and a Thursday night toga party. An enhanced badge at $1,599 lets you reserve seats in sessions ahead of time and comes with a signed copy of Huberman's book. The premium badge, capped at 60 people, is $5,899 and adds a concierge, a private speaker dinner and a meet-and-greet with headliners.

The more realistic way in for most locals is a one-day badge, which starts at $349 for Friday, Saturday or Sunday and carries the same access as the standard pass for that day. The summit also offers need-based scholarships and discounts for students, military members, veterans and first responders, so it is worth asking before assuming the price is out of reach.

Why West Palm Beach

A conference of this size lands where the hotels, the venue and the weather all line up, and early November in West Palm Beach is about as good as Florida gets: the heat breaks, the evenings are made for the waterfront,. For the city it means thousands of visitors filling restaurants and hotels in a week that is usually quiet before the season starts.

For residents, the takeaway is simpler. You do not need a $1,000 badge to get something out of Eudēmonia being here. A sunset 5K on the Intracoastal followed by a dance party, or a folk show with the water behind the stage, is a very good November night out in your own downtown. Tickets for both, and for the summit, are on the Eudēmonia site.
