We couldn’t be more excited to start our days with morning yoga before heading to panels exploring innovation in the health and wellness spaces. Join us for these awesome exciting events and be inspired for a happier and healthier year!

1. The Future of Now: Health Innovation
   Social media is not only changing the way that brands interact with customers; it is also expanding the ways that researchers and health-care providers can learn about multiple stages of diseases. In this special track presented by Merck, learn about social media’s impact on healthcare, see pitches from five innovative health startups, and the hear experiences of three academics in the field.
2. Masterclass: Your Spine Online, Rejuvenate and Reconnect with Breathe Repeat
   If you experience back pain from spending too much time hunched over a computer, you won’t want to miss this masterclass by Breathe Repeat. Get educated about the ways that virtual connectivity might be affecting your spine and learn how to rejuvenate and reconnect with your body.
3. The Third Metric: Redefining Success Beyond Money and Power
   What if we measured success by our generosity, health and sense of wonderment in the world instead of in material wealth and power? It is easy to get burnt out in an “always on” environment and we could all benefit from spending more time on personal well-being. Join Jordan Hillary Freeman, Marketing Director at Huffington Post, as she discusses HuffPo’s effort to redefine success with leaders in tech/health space.
4. Morning Yoga, hosted by Breathe Repeat
   Start your day at SMW off right with Morning Yoga. This yoga session, designed specifically for desk-sitters and phone addicts (and all their aches and pains) does not require a mat or lululemon attire. So no excuses!
5. Find Your SOUL At SoulCycle
   We’ve teamed up with SoulCycle to add some SOUL to the conference! SoulCycle® is the country’s premiere full-body indoor cycling workout, and you can get a free class, giving you a mental component of inspirational coaching, with great music and a full-body workout on the bike. Not a bad excuse to give it a try.

These are only a small sampling of our lineup for SMW NYC, February 18 to 21; so don’t forget to check out the schedule for events on the topics of entrepreneurship, content marketing, media and more!
