Her participation will be part of the Manova Summit's Reimagining Age, one of six health-related themes.

"We are thrilled to announce Jane Fonda as part of this year's Manova Summit. Through her book, Prime Time, and her current television role on Frankie & Grace, Jane Fonda has been leading voice in the cultural conversation on aging and health," said Mark Addicks, CEO of Manova Summit. "Jane Fonda is literally the pioneer of the early personal fitness movement and has been a health activist throughout her life. She has virtually changed the game on how we view and respond to aging."
The other themes to be featured throughout the three-day Manova Summit include: Changing Cancer, Beyond Borders, and One Planet One Health, Muting Communicable Diseases and Digital Health.
This year Manova Summit will also include Executive Question & Answer Sessions as well as Executive Briefing Sessions for 'deeper dives' on topics of particular interest for segments of the participants.
