From conversations to collaboration at EANM

We’re home after intense days in Vienna last week, full of meetings and new impressions. Here is what stayed with us from EANM 2026.

Meeting in person
Many of the people we usually talk to over Teams and phone were suddenly right there, a handshake away. A lot of those conversations have already turned into plans for what comes next.

“My first impression of my first EANM was that the attendance was massive. It was lovely to meet people from the industry in person after so many digital meetings and phone calls. EANM is the perfect place for meetings, and my calendar is full for the rest of the year with follow-ups resulting from the event.”
Erik Hjort, CEO

From ideas to action
Big ideas are easy to find at a congress like EANM. In Vienna, we noticed how often they came with a next step attached, and a shared wish to make things better for customers and patients.

“What surprised me most was how quickly conversations moved beyond ideas and into action. There was a real willingness to collaborate and focus on concrete solutions, all with the shared goal of creating the best solutions for hospitals and patients in the Nordic and Baltics.”
Niklas Roghem, Commercial Specialist

Where needs meet solutions
The questions hospitals have shared with us throughout the year came with us to Vienna. A congress is a great opportunity to meet with many parts of the industry and look for answers together.

“It feels like we are at the doorway of something new. Over the past year, we have talked intensively with hospitals about their current and future needs. At EANM, we can discuss with several representatives of the industry how we could meet those needs in the best possible way. These conversations are the core of why I enjoy my work so much. I feel there is a need for something, and there are certainly solutions we can help provide.”
Petra Vuorinen, Country Manager Finland/RP Finland

Thank you to everyone we met in Vienna for your time, your questions and your openness!
