LONDON — Hyve Group acquired Manifest, a leading supply chain and logistics event that launched in 2022.
Executive Perspectives
“Today, we’re delighted to welcome Manifest to our portfolio and enter the exciting world of supply chain and logistics — the backbone of many of the industries we already work within,” Mark Shashoua, Hyve Group’s CEO, stated. “Manifest is exactly the type of event we get excited about. Its customers love it, it draws a community of world class businesses and leaders, and it actively shapes the future of its sector by providing the platform for discussion, innovation and trade. In addition, Manifest has a brilliant team behind it, with a proven record of innovation and creating world-class B2B events. We are excited to collaborate with the Manifest team to support its continued growth and evolution, through rolling out our best practice approach, our digitization strategy, and exploring opportunities to geo-clone the event into new markets.”
“There’s a joy and a magic about bringing people together,” Jay Weintraub, Manifest’s Founder, stated. “Creating connections that can positively impact people, businesses, industries and communities is something we obsess over and in Hyve, we have found a partner which shares that same fundamental approach. Hyve is absolutely the right home for Manifest. They are experts in optimizing B2B events to drive unbeatable value for customers, and we’re excited to benefit from that experience and model. I care deeply about this customer community and continuing to deliver value for them. For this reason, it was only ever Hyve.”
