HLTH Europe emphasises curated access and structured connectivity as core components of the event format, not just a supplementary feature. The Market Connect Programme applies an application or qualification layer to matchmaking, and several attendance categories, including startup, investor, and speaker passes, are complimentary subject to eligibility review. The HLTH.rad track also extends the programme to include imaging and radiology as a distinct specialism alongside broader digital health content. ### Is HLTH Europe primarily a technology showcase or a strategic leadership forum? The event is positioned as a strategic leadership forum rather than a technology showcase or trade exhibition. Exhibitor figures are not publicly disclosed as of verification, and the programme structure prioritises panels, curated conversations, and facilitated 1:1 meetings. Startup participants attend through an application-based qualification process, which orients their presence toward investor and partner introductions rather than floor demonstrations. ### Who is HLTH Europe NOT designed for? - Clinical practitioners or researchers seeking continuing medical education credits or clinical science presentations - Technology vendors looking primarily for booth-based lead generation in a traditional trade fair format - Early-stage founders seeking open-access pitch competitions without qualification or curation - Procurement professionals from non-healthcare sectors with no remit for health system investment or digital health adoption - Attendees whose primary interest is regional or national health policy with no digital, innovation, or commercial dimension ### Is HLTH Europe connected to the US HLTH event? Yes. HLTH Europe is produced by HLTH Inc., the same New York-based organisation that runs HLTH US and ViVE. The European event operates on the same structural model, including the Market Connect Programme format and the complimentary access tiers for qualified participants, adapted for the European market and health system context. ## The venue: RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre The RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre is located at Europaplein 22, 1078 GZ Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is one of Europe's larger convention and exhibition venues, regularly hosting major international B2B conferences across multiple sectors. Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport provides direct connections to most European capitals and major intercontinental routes, making the city a logistically accessible base for pan-European and international attendees. ## The organiser: HLTH Inc. HLTH Inc. is a New York-based conference producer and digital content company founded in 2016, with an estimated workforce of 80 to 100 employees. The company focuses specifically on the healthcare sector, operating large-scale forums that bring together health system incumbents, technology companies, investors, and policy stakeholders. Its event portfolio includes HLTH US, HLTH Europe, and ViVE, which is co-produced with CHIME and targets health IT leadership in North America. HLTH Inc. was acquired by Hyve Group, an independent media and events company owned by private equity firms Providence and Searchlight. This acquisition placed HLTH within a broader international events portfolio while maintaining the HLTH brand identity and event formats. The company's stated focus is on convening healthcare decision-makers through global events, digital content, and structured initiatives rather than general industry exhibitions. --- ## Editorial take *HLTH Europe occupies a distinct position on the European health conference circuit by combining a qualification-based access model with dedicated sector tracks such as HLTH.rad, setting it apart from open-registration digital health gatherings and traditional medical conference formats.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration for HLTH Europe 2026 is open.
