Informa Markets, a global leader in organizing exhibitions, has acquired the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Health Conference & Exhibition, one of the biggest health technology events of the year.

While Informa will take on management of the HIMSS Exhibition, HIMSS will continue to oversee developing expert content and programming.

"We are determined to continuously advance this conference and exhibition, delivering ever greater value to everyone who attends: speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and healthcare professionals," said Hal Wolf, president and CEO of HIMSS. "With the remarkable growth that the Global Conference has reached, it's the right time to partner with North America's leading exhibitions organizer, Informa Markets, who shares our vision to make the HIMSS Global Health Conference and Exhibition the best it can be for the entire ecosystem."

Informa Markets has a portfolio across sectors ranging from fashion to engineering, health and wellness to construction, encompassing over 450 brands. It also has a strong presence in the healthcare and medtech space through brands such as FIME, Arab Health, and IME.

Each year, HIMSS draws around 40,000 health professionals, technology leaders, providers and governmental organizations from around the world. The 2024 HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, the inaugural edition under this new partnership, will take place in Orlando, Florida on March 11-15.
