WH26 took over Lefty's Brick Bar in Austin for a full day of keynotes, panels, activations, and the kind of hallway conversations that actually turn into deals. The room is intentionally small, intentionally curated, and intentionally loaded with the people building the category.












From the Field
A look inside what Willpower events actually feel like, from the opening run to the closing keynote.
In Their Words
"The conversations at Wellness House go three levels deeper than anything else I attend. These are the people actually building the category."
"Not just the people on stage. The people in the room. The conversations between sessions. That overlap between wellness, commerce, and sport, that's what Willpower is building."
"Willpower brings together the right 250 people. In this space, that's worth more than any conference with 5,000 attendees."
Year 4 returns to Lefty's in Austin for SXSW 2027. Early access is open, invite-only.

A new Catalyst format launched May 20, 2026 at Remedy Place Soho. The conversation moves off the stage and onto the recovery floor. Speakers between sauna sets, between ice baths, between cryo. Brand leaders engaged, not seated in rows. The Wellness Lounge returns August 19 at Remedy Place Flatiron, then November in NYC, then December in Austin.
Brands of the Lounge
Every brand that walked through the door at Remedy Place Soho on May 20. Designed for the room, designed to remember the room. From AG1 and Beekman 1802 in the panel chairs to MASA, Bottega Veneta, Estée Lauder, Steve Madden, Poppi, GNC, and forty more in the room.
The flyer captures one night. The community keeps showing up: most of these brands are already returning August 19, with Nov NYC and Dec Austin queued up after.
