Forge Expands Healthcare Media Footprint with Becker's Acquisition

Becker’s Healthcare currently operates as a portfolio company of Pamlico Capital, maintaining a reach of over 1.5 million executives through digital products and hosting more than 15,000 annual attendees at its events. By integrating Becker’s with the Fierce Healthcare and Life Sciences brand, Forge aims to establish an omnichannel ecosystem spanning biotech, pharmaceuticals, and hospital systems. The combined entity will manage over 35 live events alongside a suite of newsletters, podcasts, and community forums.

This transaction aligns with the broader strategy Forge has pursued since its formation following Apollo's acquisition of Emerald and Questex in July 2026. The company is actively targeting markets with strong secular growth, betting that the demand for specialized content and professional networking within the healthcare value chain will continue to intensify. For JEGI LEONIS, the deal underscores their role in advising on high-stakes media and technology transactions, further consolidating the firm's influence in the sector.
