Eudēmonia 2026 brought about 8,000 people through the Palm Beach County Convention Center over three days, up from more than 5,000 in 2025, according to event founder Sean Hoess. The gathering paired fitness and wellness activities with talks and an expo featuring more than 160 brands; attendance figures and product descriptions come from the event’s organizers and exhibitors.
Eudēmonia 2026 drew about 8,000 people to the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach over three days, founder and CEO Sean Hoess told Athletech News. The event’s reported attendance was up from more than 5,000 in 2025, as visitors took part in exercise and wellness sessions, heard from health and performance speakers, and explored an expo with more than 160 brands.
The program combined breathwork, meditation and strength training with talks and product demonstrations. More than 150 speakers from health academia, longevity and performance took part, according to the report. The event included presentations by figures such as Andrew Huberman, Kelly Slater and Tom Brady, alongside clinicians including Dr. Jessica Shepherd and Dr. Robin Berzin.
Hoess said a last-minute rise in registrations pushed attendance past the organizers’ goals. He also told Athletech News that a further 5,000 to 6,000 people were present around the Sofi Tukker 5K and a Head and the Heart concert. The report does not specify whether those people attended the convention itself, so that figure should not be added to the convention attendance total.
The expo featured brands working in diagnostics, wearables, supplements, recovery and performance. Several used the gathering to introduce or preview products, including Shiftwave’s nervous system regulation system, Rose Health’s hair analysis test and Levl’s at-home strength training system. These are company descriptions reported by Athletech News; the material does not independently establish the products’ effectiveness or health benefits.
Attendance Reflects Wellness Demand
The turnout offers a snapshot of consumer interest in longevity and wellness, bringing fitness, health information and commercial products together in one large event. For attendees, the combination creates opportunities to compare approaches and ask questions directly of speakers and exhibitors. For brands, a crowd of this size provides a venue to present products and gauge consumer interest.
That growth is relevant, but it does not establish that any particular treatment, device or wellness practice works. Hoess said the event aims to feature brands with some scientific evidence while remaining open to new products and protocols that may not yet have been studied in depth. The distinction matters in an industry where health claims can exceed the available evidence.

From 2025 Attendance to 2026
The event’s reported attendance rose from more than 5,000 in 2025 to about 8,000 in 2026, according to Hoess. The comparison suggests growth in the number of people passing through the convention center, though the report does not provide an independently audited count or explain how the figures were collected.
Some activities began before the official event. Aion hosted a beach walk where attendees wore weighted vests, followed by movement and breathwork sessions. During the convention, former CrossFit Games champion Jason Khalipa led strength classes. The format paired practical activities with talks and an expo, rather than limiting the gathering to a conference or product showcase.
“It’s very hard to reach people nowadays, but slowly, word of mouth has been spreading.”
— Sean Hoess, Eudēmonia founder and CEO, speaking to Athletech News
Attendance and Product Claims
The attendance figures were provided by Hoess and are not described in the report as independently verified. It is also unclear how many people attended the convention itself versus the nearby race and concert. The reported 5,000 to 6,000 additional people should not be treated as a confirmed extension of the convention’s attendee count.
The available account does not provide detailed evidence for the health or performance claims attached to individual products, nor does it say which new products have undergone independent testing. Hoess acknowledged that some emerging technologies and protocols have limited study. The report also gives no demographic breakdown, attendee survey or follow-up data showing whether visitors bought products or changed their habits.
New Products Move Toward Market
Some exhibitor developments have stated next steps: Lution said its home air quality analysis system was expected to ship within weeks, while Rose Health launched a hair analysis test and Levl introduced an at-home strength system at the event. Those timelines and descriptions are attributed to the companies in the Athletech News report; the source does not confirm later shipping or wider availability.
Hoess said he sees room for Eudēmonia to grow in future years. The source does not provide a date, venue, attendance target or confirmed program for a subsequent edition. The next indicators will be whether the event announces another gathering and whether exhibitors’ launches reach customers with supporting information about testing, evidence and intended use.
