Nuclear medicine is evolving fast in diagnostics and radionuclide therapy and requires forums where clinical practice, industry and research meet. From October 17 to 21, 2026 Vienna hosts the EANM annual congress at the Austria Center Vienna, combining scientific sessions, young professional programmes and corporate activities.
Practical information for EANM’26
EANM’26 runs from October 17 to 21, 2026 at the Austria Center Vienna, Bruno-Kreisky-Platz 1, 1220 Vienna. The congress website launched and opened abstract submission and registration on March 2, 2026, a key milestone for scheduling participation and meetings.
Scientific programmes and recognition
The congress includes initiatives aimed at training and academic recognition. The site lists awards and targeted programmes such as the EANM Sanjiv Sam Gambhir Award, the EANM Young Authors Award, the Next-Gen Programme and the Young Professionals Lounge. Educational activities and certification paths supported by the association are also part of the offering.
Attendee profiles and stakeholder mix
Available information points to a mix of clinicians, technologists, researchers and managers working in molecular imaging, radiopharmacy and radionuclide therapies. Committees, schools and working groups linked to the association suggest participation by both academic and industry representatives.
Commercial prospecting and networking tactics
For B2B outreach focus on two actions. First map the programmes and awards listed on the site to identify sessions that attract the researchers and clinicians you need. Second schedule meetings early: with abstracts and registration opening on March 2, secure slots and distribute technical material ahead of the congress. Prepare concise clinical evidence and short demos plus targeted questions to assess clinical needs.
Sustainability and organisational framework
The association publishes a sustainability plan and details governance and organisational structures. Exhibitors and sponsors should align logistics and communication with the EANM guidelines and policies.
Final recommendation
For commercial teams and product leads the practical step is to use the congress website to align submissions and meeting requests with the target professional groups, taking advantage of the March 2 opening for abstracts and registration. All official details are on the event page https://eanm.org/congress-scientific-events/eanm26/ so plan agendas and materials accordingly.
