HLTH moves event from spring to fall
HLTH, a new event focused on covering disruptive innovations that are driving substantial reductions in health costs and increases in health quality, has announced a major shakeup.
The New York-based company will be moving the event to the fall, with Hlth 2019 taking place Oct. 27-30 at the MGM Grand’s new conference space in Las Vegas.
In its initial launch in May 2018, the event saw 3,500 attendees, which included more than 700 CEOs from 1,750 companies, 375 C-level speakers, 240 sponsors and 300 investors, the company said.
“The tremendous success of our inaugural HLTH event this past May demonstrated the need for an all-in, must-attend health ecosystem conference where all major stakeholders share new solutions and strategies, where networking is curated and meaningful, and where key business-to-business exchanges take place,” Jonathan Weiner, founder and chief executive officer of HLTH, said.
For 2019, HLTH’s goal is to bring stakeholders together to commit to taking the necessary steps to flip the foundations of health, which allows consumers to become better in making everyday decision about how to be their healthiest, the company said.
“Simply put, no such forum exists today; instead, the spring already has far too many events, causing dilution and event fatigue in the first half of the year. “There is no definitive industry touchpoint in the fall,” Weiner said. “Shifting HLTH six months to the fall allows us to be even more impactful in our mission to serve as a catalyst for the improvement of healthcare in the US by enabling the industry to regroup as the current year comes to an end, as well as commence critical planning before the start of the new year.”
