Kea Island, Greece · 17 – 21 June 2026

The Programme.
AI is Rewriting Medicine.
We're Convening Where it Lands.

Four themed days on a Cycladic island where the Mediterranean's most consequential capital meets the people building — and bankrolling — the next decade of diagnosis, treatment, longevity and wellness.

5 Days · 4 Themes 150 Curated Delegates Decision-Makers Only

Six months that changed the field. Before our delegates land in Kea.

The signals are now too loud to ignore. AI has crossed from clinical curiosity to clinical infrastructure — in diagnosis, in the operating room, in drug discovery, in the longevity clinic. KEANAISSANCE 2026 sits at the precise moment where the conversation shifts from whether to how, with whom, and at what valuation.

What follows is the briefing that frames our four days.

January 2026 · FDA
First clearance of an AI tool that detects 14 distinct conditions from a single CT scan — multi-disease diagnosis from one image, one model.
January 2026 · EU
The EU AI Act takes effect, classifying medical AI as high-risk and forcing the field to professionalise governance, traceability and bias auditing.
CES 2026 · Las Vegas
NuraLogix Longevity Mirror unveiled — over 100 wellness indicators read from a 30-second facial scan via transdermal optical imaging.
March 2026 · Aging Cell
Multi-omics × AI proposes a "Longevity Intelligence" framework, combining bowhead-whale and naked-mole-rat data with deep aging clocks for human translation.
April 2026 · Pfizer
Pfizer screens millions of compounds and surfaces viable drug candidates in 30 days — a timeline collapse from years to a calendar month.
May 2026 · King's College London
Frontiers in Science publishes the field-defining case for AI-embodied surgical robots: "true personalised surgery" — situational awareness, adaptive learning, autonomous assist.
April 2026 · NVIDIA × AdventHealth
First operating-room deployments of embodied AI for sterile coordination, instrument tracking, and intelligent workflow management.
2026 · Benchling
80% of biotech firms plan to increase AI budgets in the next 12 months. 23% expect to double or more. The capital is moving.

Five days on Kea. Four themes that move the field.

Each programme day pairs a half-day of curated content with a half-day on the water. The content is dense, decisional, and small-format. The water is non-negotiable — Kea's coastline is the second venue.

Arrival
Wed
17 June
Welcome

Kea, by sundown.

The first 24 hours are quiet by design.

Delegates transfer from Athens via Lavrio and the 40-minute crossing to Korissia. The afternoon is unstructured — bedrooms, swims, decompression. The opening evening sets the tone for the four themed days that follow: small tables, no name badges, no podium.

14:00 onwards
Ferry from Lavrio · Arrival at Korissia
Hosted transfers from Athens International Airport (60 min) and the Lavrio ferry terminal. Delegates settle into beachfront properties.
19:30
Welcome Reception · Vourkari Harbour
Champagne and meze on the waterfront. First-name introductions only.
21:00
Opening Dinner · Aristos taverna
Mediterranean tasting menu, served family-style. A short on-the-record welcome from the Founder. The four-day frame is set.
Day One
Thu
18 June
Diagnosis

From symptom to signal.

The day AI stopped helping radiologists and started replacing the workflow.

Imaging, multi-cancer early detection, liquid biopsy, the longevity mirror, multi-disease classifiers. The day opens with the question every operator and investor in the room is now asking: what does diagnosis look like when one model reads everything, and the gold standard moves from a panel of specialists to a probability distribution?

08:30
Sea swim · Otzia Bay (optional)
Hosted morning swim with longevity physician walk-and-talks. 22°C water, 24°C air.
10:00
Opening Keynote — One Model, Fourteen Diseases
A reading of January's FDA clearance and what it means for the next 24 months of imaging M&A. 25 minutes, no slides past slide three.
10:35
Panel — The Liquid Biopsy Decade
AI-powered ctDNA, multi-cancer early detection (MCED), and the shift from screening-by-tumour to screening-by-fragmentome. Four operators, one investor, no moderator monologues.
11:30
Fireside — The Longevity Mirror
Transdermal optical imaging from CES 2026: 100+ wellness indicators in 30 seconds. What does this do to the annual physical, the executive health programme, and the concierge clinic business model?
12:15
HNWI Investor Roundtable — Diagnostics Cap Table
Closed session. Twelve seats. Three live deals. Held under house rules.
13:30
Lunch · Garden of Villa Carpe Diem
Cretan diet menu. Round tables of eight, pre-seated.
15:30 – 19:30
Boat Programme — North Coast Circumnavigation
Three traditional kaiki vessels. Otzia → Spathi → the abandoned monastery at Kastriani. Continuous conversation, anchored swims, sunset crudo on board. The day's panellists are dispersed across the three boats so each delegate cohort gets their own.
21:00
Dinner · Beachfront, Otzia
Long table on the sand. Chef-led. The Diagnostics Roundtable conclusions are tabled informally.
Anchored to the field
FDA's January 2026 multi-condition CT clearance · MCED clinical adoption curves · NuraLogix Longevity Mirror (CES 2026) · the EU AI Act high-risk classification, taking effect this year.
Day Two
Fri
19 June
Treatment

From discovery to delivery.

When months become days, and the OR learns to see.

The arc from molecule to incision. We anchor the morning in Pfizer's April announcement — millions of compounds screened, viable candidates surfaced in 30 days — and end the afternoon in the operating room of 2027, as drawn this May by King's College London and shipped this April by NVIDIA, Lightwheel and AdventHealth Hospitals.

08:30
Sunrise yoga + breath-work · Cliff above Korissia
Optional. 45 minutes. Reset before a high-density morning.
10:00
Keynote — The 30-Day Discovery Cycle
Pfizer's April result examined: what was actually compressed, what was outsourced to the model, what's still bottlenecked at the wet-lab door. The economics of "shots-on-goal" when the cost-per-shot collapses.
10:40
Panel — Programmable Therapeutics & the AI-Native Pipeline
RNA platforms, CAR-NK therapies, self-amplifying RNA, programmable cell therapies. The biotech 2026 stack — and why most generalist VCs will miss the inflection.
11:35
Live Demo — Embodied AI in the Operating Room
A live link to a teaching hospital running NVIDIA's surgical co-pilot stack. Sterile coordination, instrument tracking, real-time decision support. Followed by Q&A with a robotic urological surgeon.
12:20
Fireside — The Frontiers in Science Doctrine
The May 2026 King's College London paper read out and contested. "True personalised surgery" — what does it mean for hospital procurement, surgical training, and the next class of medical device IPOs?
13:30
Lunch · Vourkari waterfront
Catch-of-the-day. Open seating.
15:30 – 19:30
Boat Programme — Kea Circumnavigation
Full island loop. Three boats. The afternoon's dossier: a mid-cap AI-pharma deal book, distributed in print, read on the water, debriefed at anchor over the wreck of HMHS Britannic — the largest hospital ship of the First World War, an unintentional companion theme to the day.
21:00
MedTech Founders' Dinner · Koundouros
Closed dinner for 40. Founder-and-investor pairs only.
Anchored to the field
Pfizer's 30-day AI drug discovery (April 2026) · King's College London / Frontiers in Science on AI-embodied surgical robotics (May 2026) · NVIDIA × Lightwheel × AdventHealth OR deployments (April 2026) · Benchling's 2026 Biotech AI Report on the move from pilots to AI-native operating models.
Day Three
Sat
20 June
Longevity

From measurement to mastery.

Aging is now legible. The question is what we do with the read-out.

Deep aging clocks, geroprotectors, AI-screened senolytics, biological age reversal, the comparative biology of long-lived species. The day the longevity-medicine conversation graduates from supplement stack to AI-instrumented longitudinal medicine — and the family offices in the room decide what they're prepared to back.

08:30
Blue Zone breakfast · open-air
Local olive oil, sheep's-milk yoghurt, wild greens, sea air. Set the day's tone.
10:00
Keynote — The Decade of the Aging Clock
Epigenetic clocks, methylation panels, multi-modal biomarkers. The science is settling. The clinical pricing is not. A read of where we are, six months in.
10:40
Panel — Longevity Intelligence: AI × Multi-Omics
Drawing on the March 2026 Longevity Intelligence framework (bowhead whale, naked mole-rat, human translation) — and the January 2026 Frontiers in Aging review of AI as a catalyst across the field.
11:35
Workshop — The Geroprotector Pipeline
From AI-screened candidate molecules through to the clinical trial design questions that aging studies have always struggled with. Includes a tour of which compounds are now in human cohorts.
12:20
Family Office Roundtable — The Longevity Allocation
Closed session. What is a credible longevity allocation in a balanced family office in 2026? What's signal, what's narrative, what gets shorted in 2028?
14:00 – 19:00
Boat Programme — Pisses, Koundouros, and a Floating Lunch
A late-start, long-lunch boat day. Anchored at Pisses for swimming, then Koundouros for a Blue Zone-style lunch served on board: wild fish, local wine, no devices. Sailing back through the south coast under late-afternoon light.
21:00
Founders' Gala Dinner · Villa Carpe Diem
Black tie optional. The Summit's social centrepiece. 150 covers, candle-lit, terrace and garden. The night the deal-flow starts to take written form.
Anchored to the field
March 2026 Longevity Intelligence multi-omics framework · January 2026 Frontiers in Aging comprehensive AI review · Sinclair Lab's "dash AI" cell-age screening · the post-CES 2026 NuraLogix data on biomarker reads at scale.
Day Four
Sun
21 June
Wellness · Close

From data to discipline.

A lighter day, by design — and the one most delegates report back as the one that mattered.

Personalised nutrition, microbiome science, sleep, AI coaching, mental health. The translation problem: how does any of the week's science actually become a daily practice, a clinical service line, or an investable consumer product? We close on the Cape of Kastriani at noon, and dissolve the cohort into onward travel.

07:30
Closing meditation · Lion of Kea
Optional. A walk to the 6th-century BC archaic lion sculpture above Ioulis. Silent.
10:00
Keynote — AI Coaching as the Translation Engine
The connective tissue between lab panel and lived behaviour. GLP-1 era nutrition, muscle as the organ of longevity, sleep as the unglamorous lever.
10:40
Panel — The Microbiome, Personalised Nutrition, and the Consumer Stack
Where ZOE, Viome, Seed and the next wave sit in the value chain. What's CPG, what's medicine, what's a HIPAA-grade data play.
11:30
Closing Address — The Mediterranean Thesis
A 20-minute close from the Founder. The case for Kea — and for the Mediterranean — as the locus for the next decade of longevity infrastructure.
12:30
Closing Lunch · Cape Kastriani
A quiet, long lunch. Final introductions. Hand-written exit notes from each delegate to the Founder.
15:30 onwards
Boat Programme — The Departure Sail
For those flying late: the closing sail. A small fleet from Korissia past Otzia, returning at golden hour. For those leaving earlier: scheduled ferry transfers to Lavrio and onward to Athens.
From 18:00
Onward travel
Hosted transfers to Lavrio ferry and Athens International Airport.
Anchored to the field
AI as the interpretation layer between consumer wearable data and physiological signal · the precision-fermentation protein wave · the GLP-1 + muscle-retention nutritional science of 2026 · the open question of whether "wellness" graduates from category to clinical adjunct.

An audience that writes the cheques, signs the term sheets, and runs the wards.

Speakers come to KEANAISSANCE because the room is small, the delegates are decision-makers, and the platform produces commercial outcomes — not LinkedIn impressions.

  • 150 curated delegates: 40% healthcare provider & institutional CEOs, 35% MedTech & AI founders, 25% UHNWIs and family offices.
  • 120+ healthcare entrepreneurs in the room with prior exits over $25M. 45+ active family offices with longevity allocations.
  • Speaker formats designed for signal: keynotes capped at 25 minutes, panels at four voices, fireside formats, no PowerPoint marathons.
  • One full-day boat programme per speaker: Kea's coastline does the relationship-building the conference room can't.
  • House rules. No press by default. Delegates committed to four days on island — no fly-in/fly-out keynote tourism.
  • The post-Summit dossier: every speaker's session distilled and circulated to the full delegate list, with intent tracking on follow-ups.

Brand visibility is the floor. Deal access is the ceiling.

KEANAISSANCE sponsorship tiers are built around access, not logo placement. Sponsors are paired with the delegate cohorts most relevant to their thesis — and integrated into the boat days, the closed roundtables, and the Founders' Gala.

  • Curated delegate matchmaking: pre-Summit, on-Summit, and 30-day post-Summit follow-through, managed by the FTE Capital Markets investor relations team.
  • Branded thematic day for Tier 1 partners: keynote, panel curation, sponsored roundtable, evening dinner hosting.
  • Innovation showcase slots on the boats — short-format demos read on water, debriefed at anchor.
  • Inclusion in the post-Summit Mediterranean Longevity Investment Note, distributed to the FTE Capital Markets and VIVA Investment Partners global network.
  • For Tier 1 and Tier 2: editorial features in the EntrepreneurCountry Mediterranean Longevity series.
  • Year-round visibility on keanaissance.com and across the FTE Summit calendar.
