Cardiometabolic Health Congress

What Cardiometabolic Health Congress does

Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) is a private medical education organization founded in 2006 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. It was acquired by Informa Connect in early 2023 and now operates as part of the Informa Medical division. CMHC's core offering is the largest U.S.-based annual conference dedicated to the prevention and management of cardiorenal metabolic diseases — cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity, hypertension, and related metabolic conditions — attended by multidisciplinary healthcare professionals. Around this flagship event, the company has built a multi-platform educational ecosystem comprising 12 Digital Education Hubs covering distinct therapeutic areas, an accredited CME/CE course catalog, the Foundations of Cardiometabolic Health Certificate Course (the first certification of its kind), the Cardiometabolic Beat podcast, journals, books, mobile apps, a monthly newsletter, and specialty events such as the Women's Cardiometabolic Health and Wellness Masterclass and the George Bakris Scholarship Program for emerging clinicians.

CMHC's revenue model combines three streams: paid conference registration (physician tickets $595–$895, allied health $495–$795, industry/exhibitor $995–$1,295), recurring CME/CE enrollment and certification fees, and industry sponsorships and exhibit sales from pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Its go-to-market is event-driven, with the annual October conference in Boston as the primary acquisition and engagement channel, supported by a network of more than 20 association and media partners (including Healio/Cardiology Today, Postgraduate Medicine, ASPC, Association of Black Cardiologists, AMWA, Obesity Action Coalition, and the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology Congress). Scientific credibility is anchored by a named chair group (Peters, Ballantyne, Ferdinand, Eckel) and a senior planning committee (Bhatt, Michos, Taub, among others) whose participation shapes the curriculum and faculty selection.

CMHC targets practicing clinicians, multidisciplinary healthcare professionals (cardiologists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, primary care physicians, physician assistants), medical students, residents, and fellows-in-training. Patients are served indirectly through better-informed providers. The competitive position rests on 21 years of brand leadership, a deep association/media partnership network, and a content library organized across 12 therapeutic areas. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no AI/ML capabilities are described in the company's current product surface.

Direct peers

• Pri-Med: Large US-based clinician education company operating live conferences and online CME programs for primary care and specialty audiences. Directly comparable to CMHC in combining a flagship annual conference with a multi-format digital CME ecosystem serving practicing clinicians.
• Medscape Education: WebMD's clinician education arm and one of the largest online CME/CE platforms globally. Highly comparable to CMHC's online CME/CE platform, podcast content, and multidisciplinary clinician audience across cardiology, endocrinology, and primary care.
• HMP Global: Multi-specialty medical education and live events company producing accredited conferences and digital content for healthcare professionals. Closely comparable to CMHC's combination of live medical congresses, journal publications, and therapeutic-area digital education.
• Clinical Care Options: Independent CME provider delivering live and online educational programs across multiple therapeutic specialties including cardiology and endocrinology. Comparable to CMHC in delivering accredited, KOL-led medical education to specialist clinicians in cardiometabolic-relevant fields.
• Haymarket Medical Education: Medical communications company producing live meetings, digital education, and journal-based CME for clinicians across therapeutic areas. Comparable to CMHC's integrated model of live events, journal partnerships, and online CME/CE offerings for multidisciplinary clinician audiences.
• ReachMD: Digital clinician education platform offering CME/CE activities, podcasts, and live programming across medical specialties. Directly comparable to CMHC's podcast-led, on-demand digital education strategy for practicing clinicians.

Broad incumbents

• American Heart Association: Major cardiovascular society operating Scientific Sessions and accredited CME/lifelong-learning programs. Competes with CMHC for cardiology clinician mindshare, faculty attention, and pharma sponsorship dollars, but across a much broader cardiovascular mission rather than a focused cardiometabolic niche.
• American College of Cardiology: Cardiology specialty society running its annual convocation, online CME, and board-review/lifelong-learning programs. Overlaps directly with CMHC's cardiology clinician audience and competes for the same KOL faculty and industry sponsorships at the broader society level.
• American Diabetes Association: Diabetes-focused medical society hosting Scientific Sessions and accredited CME programs. Overlaps with CMHC's diabetes management educational hub and competes for endocrinology clinician attention and pharma sponsorship focused on metabolic disease.

Emerging players

• Healio: Clinical news and education platform operating cardiology, endocrinology, and specialty news hubs alongside CME activities. Comparable to CMHC's digital hub strategy and a current core media partner, while emerging as a partial competitor for clinician attention and CME/CE delivery in cardiometabolic medicine.
