Hyve’s differentiated business model is delivering significant growth whilst redefining B2B events.
2025 was another transformative year for Hyve, seeing us deliver exceptional 39% revenue growth including acquisitions, and impressive 15% organic growth on a like-for-like basis, reaching total revenue of $391m. That’s our third year in a row of double-digit organic growth.
We grew EBITDA to over $100m, rising 26% from last year, with margins also increasing to 26%. And we maintained our relentless focus on customer outcomes, resulting in a strong NPS of +30.
Despite now being one of the largest event organisers in the world by revenue, we run just 31 events across 18 market-leading brands, each chosen by the world’s leading companies as the place where business gets done. This concentrated model is something that sets us apart, in addition to our sharp focus on thriving sectors, tech-enabled products that make connections intentional, senior “gold-dust” audiences, and a centralised best-practice engine. Together, they create high-impact events that deliver measurable ROI and outperform the market.
M&A deepens Hyve's presence in thriving industries.
Since launching our GO27 plan 18 months ago, we have completed a total of six acquisitions. These brands choose Hyve for our ability to scale events into global platforms without losing their magic.
In year two of GO27, we completed three U.S. acquisitions – Manifest, Behavioral Health Tech and ASU+GSV Summit – along with HGAN, an advisory platform that accelerates the growth of innovative healthcare companies through curated connections and commercial support. Every acquisition this year strengthened Hyve’s position in sectors undergoing transformation and high demand for connections (namely edtech, healthcare and supply chain).
Relentless focus on digitisation continues to create value for customers.
We’re redefining the strategic role B2B events play in driving commercial outcomes through the sophisticated use of technology and data. In 2025, we've powered over 160,000 meetings, 750+ table talks, 40+ tech user labs, and numerous curated networking experiences – all orchestrated to maximize commercial outcomes.
AI is increasingly embedded across the business, from pipeline generation and attendee matchmaking to resource optimisation and enhanced service delivery. We're extending beyond the show floor with innovations such as HLTH Community, a year-round member platform, and HLTH Entrée, our VIP curated dinner service, transforming our platforms from standalone events to year-round ecosystems that keep leaders connected and deliver sustained ROI.
Entering the era of convergence.
Across every sector Hyve serves, the lines are blurring. AI and emerging technologies are collapsing traditional boundaries and redrawing industry value chains, fuelling rapid cross-sector convergence. Our customers are already moving across the portfolio – from retailers at marketing conferences to technology companies on EdTech stages and financial institutions exploring healthcare innovation.
For Hyve, this convergence expands the addressable market for its platforms and strengthens its role as the place where entire, interconnected ecosystems meet to shape what comes next.
Last year, we set out a bold ambition: to more than double the size of Hyve by 2027. I’m pleased to report we have made significant progress, so much so that we will deliver our GO27 plan a year earlier than expected, in 2026.
Alongside 15% organic growth across our existing portfolio, driven by strong event performance we completed four strategic acquisitions that deepen our presence in key sectors. The world’s leading companies choose Hyve to get business done, and we’re building a category-defining company for the decade ahead.Our culture powers growth.
World-class products need a world-class team, and at Hyve, we create the space for people to thrive, grow and bring their best ideas to life.
This year, we’ve invested in helping our 700+ team to do their best work – through new training platforms and programmes, to huge investment in a new, modern tech stack, and important cultural pillars including recognition, inclusion and reward. Our latest engagement survey shows that our team is an engaged one, with three quarters of colleagues expressing favourable, positive feedback. You can meet some of them here.
Investment in community and lasting impact.
We aim to use the power of our events to create platforms for progress and drive tangible change. Each year, Hyve invests in chosen community projects that make a meaningful difference in the places where we work and host our events.
In 2025, we proudly sponsored the waterfront restoration project at Camp Homeward Bound – the first U.S. summer camp for homeless children – preserving this vital space for generations and helping make this season one of the camp's best ever for hundreds of children. Led by our colleagues Karen Puddy, Rebecca Fahey, Mary Jane Baker and Becky Howarth, the project united our New York team for hands-on volunteering to prepare the camp for opening.
We also partnered with 2econd Chance in London, funding eight bursaries and helping refurbish 50 laptops while providing technology training for people with disabilities and those furthest from employment. Through our Bett event connection, 2econd Chance achieved valuable accreditation – demonstrating how Hyve's platforms spark lasting change that bridges the digital divide and strengthens communities.
We enter 2026 well placed to deliver momentum – achieving the final stage of our GO27 plan a year early.
We enter 2026 with four exciting new launches extending our reach in new and existing markets: Shoptalk Luxe debuting in Abu Dhabi as the definitive global event for luxury retail; Breakbulk Asia in Singapore joining our industry-leading logistics portfolio; Fintech Meetup Europe expanding our fintech ecosystem to new audiences; Entrée, our exclusive dinner series within healthcare to bring together 'gold dust' brands for meaningful conversations that maximise time and impact and HLTH.rad, a show within a show, this radiology focused event taking place alongside HLTH Europe cements our gravitas within the healthcare sector and adds ROI for customers.
We’re on a mission to re-define the role of events, and this year we’ve made meaningful progress - from transformative acquisitions and new product launches to key milestones in our technology and people strategies. We’ve moved faster than expected with GO27, and I’m incredibly proud of the Hyve team. Their ambition, care and commitment have turned our boldest goals into reality.
As the era of convergence reshapes how industries connect, Hyve is uniquely positioned to bring entire ecosystems together and create value across the show floor and, increasingly, beyond it.
In FY26, we expect our fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth and further margin improvement. We will continue investing in world-class B2B events in sectors undergoing significant change, remain active in M&A where there is strategic fit, and further develop our products.
