Morning Session — 8:30AM to 12:30PM.
This ticket covers the morning session of five moderated conversations that bring together researchers, founders, practitioners, and cultural critics to example how energy is generated, depleted, shared, and restored.

Afternoon workshops and full-day tickets are available to book separately.

8:30 to 9:00AM — Breakfast
The Summit begins with a light breakfast with nourishing bites and energizing beverages.

9:00 to 9:30AM — Kick-off: The Energy Exchange
Moderated by Energy Exchange co-curator Romain Gaillard, this opening conversation introduces our cross-disciplinary expert launch partners to establish a shared vocabulary for energy that moves beyond optimization and toward something more relational, adaptive, and alive.

9:45 to 10:15AM — The Energy Optimization Paradox
The pursuit of vitality can itself be an energy drain. But how do you tell when an optimization practice is helping versus harming? This panel addresses the biohacker framework head-on while making space for the increasing realities of "wellness burnout."

10:30 to 11:00AM — Third Places and Collective Energy
We lost our third places to a market failure, and membership versions of what used to be public goods for wellbeing are now monetizing the absence. This conversation is an attempt to create a more honest dialogue around the way “community” gets used across the category.

11:15 to 11:45AM — The Energy Tax of Modern Life
Living in New York is energetically expensive, taxing your nervous system every day in ways nobody itemizes. This conversation aims to illustrate what repeated exposure to the biggest city in the country actually costs your body and mind — and what’s structural vs. personal.

12:00 to 12:30PM — Inherited Energy: Ancient Systems for Modern Times
Western longevity science is rediscovering what TCM and Ayurveda have known for millennia: that vitality is not built through isolated interventions, but through the dynamic balance of interconnected systems. The aim in this session is to develop a comparative vocabulary for energy to help decipher tradition from trend.

Breakfast on arrival, including light, nourishing bites and adaptogenic coffee served in partnership with our Energy Exchange brand partners.

Five curated panel sessions with researchers, founders, practitioners, and cultural critics, each bringing a distinct perspective on what energy actually is, how modern life depletes it, and what genuinely restores it.

Tincture tasting throughout the morning, with functional, non-alcoholic beverages to uplift and energize.

A take-home edit of products from 113 Spring brand partners, curated for The Energy Exchange.
