Direct peers

• Healio: Healio publishes specialty medical news and continuing education content for healthcare professionals, with strong coverage of infectious disease, primary care, and oncology. It competes head-to-head with Contagion Live for HCP attention and pharma-sponsored CME/CE budgets in the same specialty publishing category.
• MedPage Today: MedPage Today is a daily medical news publication targeted at physicians and clinicians, covering breaking clinical research, policy, and specialty updates including infectious disease. It competes directly with Contagion Live for clinician readership and pharmaceutical sponsorship revenue in the HCP news category.
• Infectious Disease Special Edition (MDEdge): MDEdge's Infectious Disease Special Edition provides peer-reviewed clinical news and commentary for infectious-disease specialists. It directly overlaps Contagion Live's clinical content, conference coverage, and HCP-targeted editorial positioning.
• Drug Topics: Drug Topics is a clinical news and education publication for pharmacists and clinicians, covering drug therapy, infectious disease, and antimicrobial stewardship. It directly overlaps Contagion Live's pharmacist and antimicrobial-stewardship audience and CME/CE delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Pharmacy Times: Pharmacy Times is a leading HCP media brand for pharmacists, including clinical pharmacists and antimicrobial stewardship teams—one of Contagion Live's primary segments. It overlaps in audience, CME/CE delivery, and pharma sponsorship, and is also part of the MJH Life Sciences portfolio, making it a sister-brand competitor for the same budgets.
• Medscape: Medscape is one of the largest physician medical news and education platforms globally, covering infectious disease among many specialties. It competes with Contagion Live for HCP attention and pharma/CME revenue, but at a much broader, multi-specialty scale.
• Doximity: Doximity is the dominant closed physician network in the US, increasingly distributing news, CME, and sponsored content to verified clinicians. It overlaps Contagion Live's clinician audience and represents both a competing channel for HCP media consumption and a potential distribution partner.
• STAT News: STAT News covers health, medicine, and the life sciences with deep reporting on infectious disease outbreaks, biotech, and pharma. While broader than Contagion Live, it competes for the same HCP and pharma-sponsored audience, particularly around outbreak and AMR coverage.

Emerging players

• IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America) Publications: IDSA publishes peer-reviewed clinical journals (Clinical Infectious Diseases, Open Forum Infectious Diseases, Journal of Infectious Diseases) and runs IDWeek. These compete with Contagion Live as the canonical 'trusted voice' for infectious-disease clinicians and a destination for society-affiliated content and CME.
• M3 (MDLinx / Doctors.net.uk): M3 operates physician networks and medical education platforms including MDLinx, providing specialty news, CME, and market research to clinicians. It is comparable to Contagion Live as a specialty HCP media and education platform monetized through pharma sponsorship.
