Connection is at the heart of everything we do. With the acquisition of HGAN, we’re expanding how we bring people and ideas together, creating more opportunities throughout the year and extending the value we provide to customers.
Founded by Dr Josh Riff, former Chief Medical Officer of Target, HGAN has quickly become the go-to commercial accelerator for digital health solutions. Its expert team and extensive advisor network help companies navigate critical growth factors such as pricing, marketing, health plan navigation and product–market fit. HGAN’s clients include leaders such as Spring Health, Virta, Rightway and Maven, many of whom already participate in Hyve’s healthcare events including HLTH, ViVE, and Behavioral Health Tech.
This partnership delivers exactly what we've been building toward - a platform that transcends traditional conference boundaries to provide year-round value. Instead of a few touch points a year we want to create meaningful continuous dialogue amongst healthcare innovators and potential partners so that in the end the health consumer benefits. By joining Hyve, we expand our impact and fortify our network. Having spent time getting to know Hyve and its leaders, it’s abundantly clear to me that this is the right step for HGAN and healthcare innovation.Strengthening our year-round engagement model.
This acquisition marks a big milestone for Hyve, and our first acquisition that extends the power of our events beyond the show floor. What began with market-leading experiences has evolved into meetings and matchmaking, think tanks, research and insights, curated dinners and now, thanks to HGAN, a deep, advisory-led connection format.
Together, these products create a vibrant, year-round ecosystem that connects industries, drives collaboration and delivers continuous value to our customers. In healthcare, HGAN will sit alongside our recently launched Entrée product - a curated dinner series for HLTH customers, and the established HLTH Community product which provides white papers and exclusive online events.
Cross-sector potential.
While HGAN currently serves the healthcare sector, its model has clear potential to be replicated across other Hyve portfolios, offering a blueprint for deeper customer connections, engagement and partnership across industries.
This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter in Hyve’s growth story. HGAN’s model goes beyond creating connections, through guiding relationships from first introduction to meaningful partnership. By integrating this deeper, high-touch approach with the HLTH product suite, we’re building a stronger, more diversified offering that delivers value all year round. Healthcare is where we’re proving the model, but its potential extends far beyond. I’m delighted to welcome Josh and the HGAN team as we bring this vision to life.What this means for Hyve.
This is also Hyve’s third healthcare acquisition and sixth overall since launching our GO27 growth and optimisation plan, reflecting the pace, ambition and focus we work to.
For Hyve, this moment is momentum. We’re building on a proven model that keeps our customers connected and supported every day of the year.
