What we do

Technology is only as strong
as the community around it.

For fifteen years we've helped the world's leading organizations bring people together, teach them what they need to know, and keep them engaged long after a launch. We design and run the events, communities of practice, training programs, and campaigns that turn a good idea into a field that actually uses it — whether people gather in a room together, work through a course at their own pace, or join from a hundred countries online. And as AI reshapes how the world works, the human layer we build matters more, not less.

Convenings

Conferences and gatherings, in person and online, that set a field's agenda.

Communities of practice

Working groups and peer networks that keep the conversation going long after the conference ends.

Training that lands

Training of trainers, localization, and curriculum built into the programs and systems we run, so it's finished, not just started.

Campaigns & activation

Turning a new standard or platform into something hundreds of organizations actually pick up and use.

Conferences

The gatherings where a field shows up.

Our conferences are where the people leading global health and digital development set the agenda for the year — ministries of health, funders, and the practitioners and technologists doing the work. We run them end to end, in person and online: program, sponsorship, hybrid production, and the community that carries the conversation forward after everyone goes home.

Advisory & AI-Readiness

Adopt what's next, and make it stick.

Most organizations have digital ambitions bigger than their headcount... a platform to stand up, AI to put to work, a new way of working to roll out. We help you get there, and we build the community around it that keeps it alive after the launch. When you need specialized hands, we draw on a vetted network of digital specialists worldwide, so you get exactly the expertise you need, down to niche combinations of skill, geography, and language, through one relationship instead of a dozen contracts. And for governments, we help national planners and ministries change how they make decisions about digital health, through our Digital Health: Planning National Systems program.
