PHUKET, Thailand, November 9, 2026 – The $6.8 trillion global wellness economy is proof of the unrelenting consumer demand for science-based, practical solutions for living better lives. Amway, the world’s largest direct selling company*, elevates this global conversation with a challenge to put healthspan – the number of years spent healthy and living well – into action.
With its 90 years of plant expertise and decades of scientific exploration, Amway has stepped up as a lead sponsor of the 20th Annual Global Wellness Summit, which brings the world’s leading minds and innovators in business, government, academia and science together to shape the interconnected world of health and wellness. This year marks two decades of this Summit, which will be held November 10-13 in Phuket, Thailand.
“We are proud to advance the global healthspan conversation at this historic Summit,” says Amway Global Chief Marketing Officer Melodie Nakhle. “Amway brings a rich legacy of science-led innovation and a holistic approach to supporting healthy aging that is shaping the future of health and wellbeing. It’s all about inspiring people to add more life to their years.”
“The Science, Art, and Soul of Wellness”
The four-day Summit rallies global leaders from health and wellness companies, renowned searchers, investors, entrepreneurs, and policy makers into action with a common goal: advancing wellness. These connections and conversations spark new strategic direction and novel change to address the world’s current and emerging health and wellness challenges and opportunities.
A highlight of the Summit is a collaborative forum of more than 50 speakers who will share insights into findings from the Future of Wellness Report, exclusively sponsored by Amway. Backed by more than a decade of trusted forecasting from The Global Wellness Institute, this annual research identifies key shifts influencing consumer attitudes, priorities, and behaviors, going beyond trend spotting to deliver expert analysis, strategic insights, and real-world implications.
Nakhle will take center stage to explore the concept of rethinking what it means to live well. Beyond ingredients, products, and lifestyle, she will show how healthspan is a holistic convergence of body, mind, and soul that is rooted in an understanding of what people genuinely need, and how their health and wellness is intertwined with their identity and sense of purpose and belonging.
“Connecting trusted science with everyday human experiences brings healthspan into focus for all of us,” adds Nakhle. “By making living well both real and attainable, we help translate emerging trends and ideas into meaningful solutions that empower communities everywhere to live better lives.”
