HLTH Europe

What HLTH Europe does

HLTH Europe is an annual healthcare innovation conference operated by HLTH, Inc., a privately held US-based events company. The flagship event is held at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam, with HLTH Europe 2027 scheduled for 21-24 June 2027 and HLTH Europe 2028 already announced for 19-22 June. The conference aggregates the European healthcare ecosystem — health systems, payers, government agencies, pharma and life sciences companies, startups, investors, and healthtech vendors — and reports that one in three attendees is at the C-suite level.

The business model is event-driven and operates through two revenue streams: attendee registration fees (priced by industry segment via tiered packages) and corporate sponsorship packages that include booth/exhibition space and various brand-visibility entitlements at the RAI venue. The company extends the core conference with a portfolio of specialized sub-products: Health Transformation Summit, Market Connect, Investor Connect, Startup Pitch, Partner Programming, and a BBC Storyworks editorial collaboration branded 'The Shift.' The 2027 show floor opened for early sponsor booking, with incentives for early movers. There is no proprietary technology platform disclosed; event operations are executed in partnership with HYVE Group, which provides event management and platform infrastructure. The RAI Convention Centre serves as the venue partner.

The go-to-market motion is event-driven: marketing concentrates on the company website, an email mailing list, partner programming, and earned media (including Sifted, quoted 'Everyone is here') to drive attendance and sponsorship commitments. The parent HLTH, Inc. also operates HLTH USA (Las Vegas) and ViVE events, leveraging the broader HLTH brand to position HLTH Europe as 'Europe's #1 healthcare innovation event.' No revenue, headcount, pricing, or funding data is publicly disclosed; all available intelligence is from first-party website material and partner references.
