The Global Wellness Summit (GWS) has switched locations from Qatar to Miami in light of the geo-political crisis in the Middle East.
This year’s GWS will now be hosted from Hyatt Regency Miami from 6-9 November.
Announcing the location change, the organisation said:
“In light of recent developments and the growing concerns surrounding instability in the Middle East, the GWS has made the difficult but necessary decision to relocate this year's event.
“The safety and wellbeing of our delegates, speakers, team and partners are of paramount importance, and this change in location ensures a secure experience for all participants.
“Our hearts go out to all of our friends and colleagues directly or indirectly impacted by the escalating conflict.”
The GWS also announced that almost all of the keynote speakers that have already been announced will still be in attendance, including
Simone Biles and
Timbaland.
Registered delegates will receive further details directly from the GWS later today.
