ENERGY LAB GIVEAWAY

Just how long has a biological age test been on your to-do list? But you can’t
even find the time to merely schedule it? We got your back (and the rest of your
body)! More than a hundred The Summit attendees will get the chance to take such
a test (€190 value) at the Energy Lab pop-up inside Wintercircus! Not only will
that save you time and money, you’ll also learn all there is to know about your
cardiovascular and physical condition. Even more added benefits: you’ll go home
with lots of practical health advice and ... sweat-free (because there are
showers and sports drinks too)!

How to win? Buy a ticket for The Summit and indicate that you want to enter the
competition (deadline 29 February). That’s it! In early March, all winners will
receive an email to schedule the biological age test during The Summit on 20 and
21 March or over the course of the previous weekend.
