Why B2B teams should care about HLTH
HLTH’s audience is unusually senior: health-system executives, payer leaders and pharma innovation teams attend in large numbers. Its Market Connect programme matches approved buyers and solution providers in 15-minute, double opt-in meetings.
For digital-health vendors, that structure helps, but the best results still come from knowing your targets in advance. A list of registered organisations and executives lets you request the right meetings and follow up with the rest.
Is HLTH right for your team?
Go if you sell to revenue, operations or technology leaders in this space and can commit to pre-show outreach. The audience is senior enough that a handful of good meetings can justify the whole trip.
Think twice if your product is early-stage or your sales cycle needs a long technical evaluation. You may get better returns from a smaller regional event first, and from following up with HLTH attendees after the show.
HLTH ticket prices
| Option | Price / details |
|---|---|
| Also good to know | Pricing varies by category (provider/payer, startup, investor, vendor) and rises over time |
| Also good to know | Providers/payers often get discounted or hosted access; vendors pay premium rates |
| Typical cost | Vendors typically several thousand dollars; providers less. |
Prices change between editions and by registration date, so treat these as a guide and check hlth.com before you buy.
Does HLTH have an app?
Yes, the HLTH app schedules meetings with other attendees and books tables in the Meet-Up Lounge.
If you plan to prospect through the event app, expect friction: limited search filters, caps on messages and connection requests, and no way to get the data into your CRM. It helps on the day, but it is not a target list.
HLTH: strengths and weaknesses
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| C-suite heavy audience | Expensive for vendors |

| Strong investor presence | Buyer programs require approval |
How to prospect at HLTH
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| 2 months out | Decide who you want to meet: target roles, industries, company size. Then get the list of who is actually registered. |
| 1 month out | Run a short outreach sequence (three to four touches) that leads with the event and a clear meeting ask. |
| Final week | Send reminders, share your booth number or meeting spot, and prepare one-page briefs on your top accounts. |
| After the event | Send personalised follow-ups within 72 hours and tag every lead with the event name in your CRM. |
Market Connect requires approval and works on double opt-in. Use your list to request meetings with the right executives as soon as the programme opens.
