What Kisaco Research does

Kisaco Research is a privately held UK-based B2B event and conference platform company that designs, produces, and hosts industry conferences and exhibitions across specialized growth markets. The company is registered in London (company number 09316521) at 41a Maltby Street, SE1 3PA, and operates flagship event series across Health (Women's Health Innovation Summit / WHIS, Animal Health Nutrition and Technology Innovation / AHNTI, Healthcare Payment & Revenue Integrity), Tech (AI Infra Connect), Legal (Intellectual Property, Economic Crime & Sanctions & Export), and Consumer (Beauty Connect, Fitness) verticals, with events held across Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America.

The core offering centers on intensively researched conference programmes and curated stakeholder networks that connect early adopters, senior executives, investors, and startups. Beyond in-person flagships, Kisaco extends engagement through startup showcases, webinars, workshops, and roundtables, supplemented by digital channels including the Kisaco Intelligence Hub (KIH) partner platform, quarterly Innovation newsletters, founder journey profiles, and case studies. Sponsorship architecture is structured into Platinum, Gold, Event, Media, Knowledge, and Digital Marketing Partner tiers with enterprise anchors such as McKinsey, EMD Serono, HPE, Organon, Zoetis, Elanco, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Planned Parenthood.

Kisaco generates revenue through three primary streams: paid attendee registration for B2B conferences, enterprise sponsorship packages sold via direct sales outreach, and digital content including webinars and online communities. The customer base is enterprise-led — pharmaceutical companies, multinationals, healthcare providers, payers, consultancies, and startups — with go-to-market driven by event marketing, direct enterprise sponsorship sales, partner-driven referrals, and digital content funnels (webinars, case studies, newsletters, HubSpot waitlists). No revenue figures, funding history, or investor base are publicly disclosed, and no parent company, acquisitions, or leadership transitions are documented in available materials.
