By all measures, this is the world's premier scientific conference on topics relating to medical interventions to prevent and treat the diseases and disabilities associated with the biological process of aging.

As the largest event of its kind in the arena of human longevity, the Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies, co-sponsored by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is renowned around the world for the high caliber of speakers, delegates, and international government officials in attendance. Thousands of the world's leading physicians and scientists representing 70 countries gathered to learn the latest advancements in preventive medicine and emerging biomedical technologies.

Dr. Mark Gordon, Associate Clinical Professor at University of Southern California and University of California-Los Angeles, presented "Human Growth Hormone Update & Latest Findings," highlighting the vast and diverse benefits of HGH therapeutics.	In "New Updates in Stem Cell Research," Dr. Michael Klentze, Guest Professor at University Cattolica (Rome, Italy), shared the latest advancements in stem cell therapies for aging-related diseases and disorders.

Dr. Joseph Maroon, Professor and Director of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh-Presbyterian University Hospital, presented "Red Wine and Resveratrol Unlock the Genetic Secrets of a Longer and Healthier Life," sharing the latest data regarding the impact of natural polyphenols to beneficially affect disease and aging.	After his presentation on "Comprehensive Cancer Treatment," which included case reports demonstrating the success of a novel protocol for the treatment of cancer, Dr. Mark Rosenberg (pictured in center, above) answered questions from an interested crowd.

At this conference, the Fellowship in Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine program commemorated its first graduating class of Fellowship trained, Board Certified anti-aging physicians. Seventy individuals were acknowledged in their successful completion of the Fellowship's four-module intensive training program.

At the co-located Las Vegas Anti-Aging Exposition, over 550 corporate booths displayed the latest technologies from the medical and biotech market aimed at improving and/or extending the human lifespan. The anti-aging/regenerative medicine industry is currently valued at $60 Billion (2007). Growing at an average annual growth rate of 9.5%, this market will reach nearly $72 billion by 2009.

Explains Dr. Ronald Klatz, A4M President: "Since its founding in 1992, the A4M serves as an advocate for the new clinical specialty of anti-aging medical science and acts as a conduit to physicians, scientists, and the educated public who wish to benefit from the almost daily breakthroughs in biotechnology which promise both a greater quality as well as quantity of life. The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is among the fastest growing medical societies in the world today, growing from twelve doctors in 1993 to a current membership of 20,000-plus."

Adds Dr. Robert Goldman, A4M Chairman: "The A4M has been a major force in advancing the medical specialty worldwide, responsible for positioning the anti-aging clinical medical specialty as a leading innovative paradigm for healthcare in the aging nations around the world. The A4M co-sponsors the world's largest scientific conferences in the area of advanced preventative medicine. The A4M conferences have achieved what to our knowledge no other medical group in history in any specialty has accomplished, growing in three years from just two international conferences to more than 30 annual international conferences around the world on all continents in 2007, many with the support of governments, ministries of health and international sports federation organizations. Anti-aging and regenerative medicine, as part of the preventive medical specialty, are now practiced by thousands of physicians in private medical offices, as well as at some of the most prestigious teaching hospitals around the world."
