About This Event

The flagship, year three.

Wellness House is the annual Willpower flagship, a curated, sold-out gathering during SXSW week that brings together 250+ operators, founders, and investors from across wellness, consumer, and human performance.

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.

  • 21 speakers, 6 panels. Keynotes from category-defining founders and operators, no brand theater, no pay-to-play panels.
  • 250+ curated attendees. Founders, CEOs, CMOs, and investors from $10M–$1B+ consumer, wellness, and performance brands.
  • 45+ brands in the room. The companies actually moving the category, plus the partners and platforms building with them.
  • Activations that matter. Curated experiences from partner brands woven through the day, product, programming, and real moments.

In Their Words

What leaders
are saying

John Sullivan
John Sullivan
CMO · WHOOP

"The conversations at Wellness House go three levels deeper than anything else I attend. These are the people actually building the category."

Greg LaVecchia
Greg LaVecchia
Founder · Bloom

"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."

Bill Neff
Bill Neff
Executive · YETI

"Willpower brings together the right 250 people. In this space, that's worth more than any conference with 5,000 attendees."

WH26 was sold out. WH27 is next.

Year 4 returns to Lefty's in Austin for SXSW 2027. Early access is open, invite-only.
