What Behavioral Health Tech does

Behavioral Health Tech (legally Going Digital Health, Inc.) is a conference and community platform for the behavioral healthcare ecosystem, founded in 2020 by Solome Tibebu and headquartered in Phoenix with its legal entity incorporated in New York. The company produces the annual Behavioral Health Tech Conference, which at BHT2025 convened 2,200 leaders and 300+ speakers across 45+ hours of programming focused on advancing access to mental health, substance use, and intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD) care through technology and health equity. BHT2026 is scheduled for September 22-24, 2026 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, representing a venue and capacity scale-up.

The company monetizes through a hybrid event-and-content model. Conference registration revenue is generated from General Admission tickets priced at $2,495 (early bird) to $3,148 (standard), supplemented by a Hosted Meetings Program that provides complimentary VIP passes plus up to $750 in travel reimbursement to qualified senior decision-makers in exchange for participation in pre-scheduled sponsor meetings. Sponsorship revenue flows from a ten-tier structure (Headline, Platinum, Summit, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Community, Contributor, Exhibitor, Innovator) with Pelago as the BHT2026 Headline sponsor and additional packages for webinars, job postings, and announcements. Ancillary revenue streams include the Expanding Access podcast (three seasons, 60+ episodes distributed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and Amazon Music), on-demand Insider Sessions webinars, and market research reports on AI in behavioral health and youth mental health.

In July 2025, Behavioral Health Tech was acquired by Hyve, a behavioral health technology company backed by Providence Equity Partners and Searchlight Capital Partners, positioning BHT within a larger PE-backed behavioral health platform. The company maintains a lean operating team of 1-10 employees, leveraging its 20,000+-subscriber newsletter and dual-sided community of payers, providers, employers, digital health innovators, investors, and government stakeholders as the core distribution asset.

Others

• The Conference Forum: The Conference Forum produces a portfolio of healthcare conferences and events across multiple verticals. It is an adjacent event operator with similar business model (B2B conferences + sponsorship) competing for sponsor mindshare in healthcare.
• Mental Health America: Mental Health America is a leading advocacy organization that produces conferences and policy programming in behavioral health. While more advocacy- than technology-focused, it competes for the same government, provider, and community attention BHT pursues.
• AHIP (America's Health Insurance Plans): AHIP runs major payer-focused conferences (Institute & Expo) attended by the same health plan executives BHT targets. It is adjacent rather than directly competitive — BHT specializes in BH while AHIP covers all payer lines of business.

Direct peers

• Frontiers Health: Frontiers Health is a global digital health and innovation conference with strong overlap in payer-provider-innovator audiences. Comparable as a content-forward health innovation event targeting similar sponsors and attendees.
• HLTH: HLTH runs one of the largest health technology conferences (HLTH Conference) with a significant behavioral health track and similar mix of payers, providers, digital health vendors, and investors. Directly comparable as a health-tech community and event platform pursuing the same audiences BHT serves.
• Psych Congress: Psych Congress is a major annual behavioral health conference for clinicians, with substantial industry sponsorship. Direct competitor for behavioral health stakeholder mindshare, sponsorship dollars, and speaker talent.

Broad incumbents

• HIMSS (Global Health Conference): HIMSS hosts the world's largest health IT conference and is a broad incumbent in healthcare events. While not behavioral-health-specialized, it competes for the same enterprise buyers, sponsors, and content attention with vastly greater scale and budget.
• American Psychiatric Association (APA Annual Meeting): The APA's Annual Meeting is the largest psychiatric professional conference in the US. While primarily clinician-focused, it competes for behavioral health sponsorships and exhibitor dollars and overlaps with BHT's clinical-side attendees.
