HLTH sold one week after signature Las Vegas event. (That was fast!) The buyer is London’s Hyve Group Limited, an international event organizer across retail, marketing (POSSIBLE, acquired in July), education tech, fintech, fashion, and other manufacturing, mining, and engineering-related industries. HLTH is Hyve’s first conference in healthcare. HLTH as an organizer also encompasses HLTH Europe coming up in Amsterdam 16-19 June 2025 and for digital health, ViVE in Nashville 16-19 February 2025.
According to Hyve’s release and Trade Show News Network , HLTH is their #1 conference by revenue, with ViVE not far behind at #4. ViVE will continue to include the annual conference of CHIME, which split from HIMSS before their acquisition by Informa). It is also Hyve’s second acquisition from HLTH founder/CEO Jonathan Weiner, who sold ShopTalk to Hyve in December 2019. Weiner will remain at the helm of HLTH for the foreseeable future along with 80 employees in their New York, Dublin, and London offices. The acquisition also gives UK-based Hyve a larger footprint in the highly competitive North American and US trade show market, and introduces them to a fresh group of new contacts at major players such as Google, Meta, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Amazon, and providers such as Mayo Clinic.
Acquisition terms were not disclosed. Surprisingly not covered by the healthcare business press, except for HIStalk 30 Oct to which we tip our hat. Also Trade Show Executive
