Vator held its annual Splash Health, Wellness & Wearables 2017 event on Thursday, and it couldn’t have gone better. Not only were the panelists, and all of our presenting companies great, but so were all of our audience members, who helped us to preserved the memory of the event on Twitter forever.

- Fireside Keynote – Staying human while becoming immortal; A baby born today can expect to live twice as long as one born in the 19th century. We’ve come a long way.
