    What Merge Imaging Suite VNA brings to the table

    Capping off a busy events season with UKIO, SIIM, and ASE

    This month the Merge team fanned out to three events across the world: UKIO in Liverpool, SIIM in Pittsburgh, and ASE in Aurora. At UKIO, we spotlighted our position as one of the top teleradiology solution providers in the UK alongside our capabilities for enabling true PACS freedom and flexibility for UK providers. At SIIM, we demonstrated how Merge Imaging Suite is helping to drive successful enterprise imaging transformations. And at ASE, we showed off how Us2.ai integrations with the latest version of Merge Cardio are bringing game-changing AI enhancements seamlessly into your cardiology workflows. It was great to see and talk with so many of you at these events, and we look forward to seeing many more of you at RSNA later this year.

    In the meantime, stay involved and up-to-date on the latest Merge upgrades and capabilities coming your way with Merge Community. Check out Merge Community for new monthly discussions, weekly webinar trainings, and more.

    Thank you for attending Merge LIVE 2026

    To all of your customers, partners, and friends who joined us in New Orleans last month for Merge LVIE – thank you. We promised our best conference yet and we think we delivered. We hope you found the presentations from Ashish, Tomer, and Dr. Chopra illuminating; the customer success stories from organizations like MultiCare Health System, DRH Health, The Rose, and The Christ Hospital inspiring; and the Merge Mardi Gras customer event a fun and relaxing night out. We know that traveling right now is tricky, and being away from your families and offices for two days is asking a lot, so we hope you got as much value out of Merge LIVE 2026 as we put into it.

    What did you think of the show? Which elements of this year’s event do you want to see return for 2027? What was missing from this year’s show that you’d like to see added to the agenda next time? Let us know! In the meantime, relive some of your favorite memories of Merge LIVE 2026 with this highlight reel.
