The Integrative Healthcare Symposium Annual Congress Comes To Town

IHS 2024

It's a pretty exciting lineup of presentations, so I thought I would share it here. It will really be the first IHS meeting since 2019 where we will actually be able to see & speak to one another. So again, kind of exciting.

Where the conference organizers or speakers have provided interesting or potentially useful outlines/descriptions of a particular presentation, I have inserted a hyperlink. I've also added hyperlinks to the bios of the plenary and keynote speakers, with the exception of the group plenary session at the end of the first day.

Digital recordings of the sessions are typically available in mid-March, and I am happy to share any of them, just ask-- although Joel Evans (delivering the "Longevity Medicine/Predictive Genomics" talk this year) typically asks that his session not be recorded.
