Asia’s First and Only Festival for Midlife and Menopause Wellness

Midlife can feel messy, magical and misunderstood.


Let’s Talk Menopause & Midlife is a full-day, festival-style experience that places menopause, andropause, mental wellness, and ageing where they belong: front and centre in our cultural and medical conversations.


Whether you're navigating symptoms, preparing for the journey ahead, or supporting someone through it, this is a safe, informed, and inspiring space to learn, share, and thrive.


It’s Day 2 of Midlife Festival 2025: Asia’s definitive midlife and menopause gathering, featuring 14+ panels and 40+ speakers across two days.


👥 Who Should Attend:

  • Women and men navigating midlife (35–65+)
  • Individuals experiencing peri-/menopause or andropause
  • Caregivers, partners, and adult children
  • Healthcare providers and wellness professionals
  • HR leaders, students, and anyone curious about ageing well


💬 What to Expect:

  • Hear from experts from Alliance Counselling, KKH, International Medical Clinic (IMC) and more
  • Evidence-based talks on hormones, sleep, mood, memory, and energy
  • Empowering panels on body image, sexual wellness, intimacy, and identity
  • Insights into medically induced menopause from surgery or cancer treatment
  • Interactive fringe activities & quiet recharge zones
  • Buffet lunch, curated tea breaks, and a welcome gift
  • Practical tools, heartfelt stories, and expert guidance you can bring into your everyday life
  • A diverse, welcoming community where no question is too small and no experience is too “taboo”
