The Smart Cities Council (SCC) is delighted to announce that Dr. Melissa Grill-Petersen, Founder of Human Longevity Global and creator of the BioHealthSpan Model, will be stepping in to present one of the cornerstone sessions at Smart City Expo Miami 2025: “Healthspan – A New Metric for Success in Thriving Communities.”
A world-renowned thought leader in longevity, regenerative medicine, and human flourishing, Dr. Melissa brings more than 25 years of experience across healthcare, business, and public policy. A TEDx speaker, best-selling author of The Codes of Longevity, and co-founder of the Human Longevity Institute and Peptide University, she is celebrated for her ability to bridge science, culture, and strategy to ignite human vitality across every sector of society.
At Miami, Dr. Melissa will explore how cities can measure success not just by economic output or digital innovation, but by the quality and longevity of human life. Her keynote will examine the intersection of biology, environment, and policy — challenging leaders to design urban ecosystems that cultivate well-being, resilience, and prosperity for all generations.
Her presence adds enormous prestige to the program, and in a testament to her dedication, and reflects her passion and belief in this global mission.
