Background of AIA Live

AIA Live was first introduced in 2020 as a regional online health and wellness event spanning 13 markets. The first event was headlined by AIA's Global Ambassador David Beckham and featured more than 30 unique sessions, delivering health and wellness content and light-hearted moments of music and comedy around the key themes of mental wellbeing, exercise, activity and rest, nutrition, and personal growth. The second installment of AIA Live in 2021 will be expanded to include more regional and local sessions to keep everyone motivated on their health journey throughout the year.
