Closing the knowledge gap - The OM longevity education report
AXA's 2026 Women's Health Survey highlights a significant gap between awareness and understanding. This session draws on the OM Longevity Education Report to explore the importance of education, early recognition of health changes, and practical steps women can take to make informed decisions. Participants will also receive complimentary access to the full report and OM Masterclasses following the forum.
10:35 - 11:00
From awareness to action - Workplace policies that make a difference
Supporting women's health in the workplace requires more than good intentions. Bringing together leaders from business and advocacy, this panel explores how organisations can turn awareness into action through workplace policies, inclusive leadership, and practical strategies that better support women throughout their careers.

Early detection - Extending women's healthspan and lifespan
Early detection is one of the most powerful tools for improving women's long-term health. In this session, Dr. Pui-Wah Choi will explore how advances in biotechnology and diagnostics are making earlier, more accessible detection possible, and why innovation will play a critical role in extending women's healthspan and lifespan.
