Mirion Connect 2026: Advancing Radiation Safety, Empowering Progress

Each year, the Mirion Technologies group brings together customers, industry experts and partners for Mirion Connect, our annual users’ conference. Our 2026 event, our 40th to date, was centered around the theme “Advancing Radiation Safety. Empowering Progress.” We were pleased to welcome a record number of attendees to Henderson, Nevada for a week of learning, connection and discovery.

Professionals representing operating nuclear power plants, new nuclear, research, academia, radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear medicine, homeland security and defense came together to exchange ideas, deepen their technical knowledge, and explore the technologies supporting their work today. Just as valuable were the conversations that happened between sessions, where attendees gained perspective from colleagues working in different fields but often solving similar challenges.

Expert-Led Training

Training remains the foundation of the Mirion Connect experience. Monday and Tuesday were dedicated to one- and two-day courses covering product fundamentals, advanced applications, software, and radiation safety topics. Led by Mirion technical experts with professional training qualifications, these sessions gave attendees the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge through hands-on learning while earning continuing education credits.

Welcome Reception

Tuesday evening marked the official opening of the Technology Hub during our Vegas-themed Welcome Reception. Attendees explored the latest Mirion technology, met directly with product experts, and reconnected with colleagues from across their industry.

From showgirls and balancing acts to a contortionist and an Elvis impersonator, the evening’s entertainment added plenty of Las Vegas flair. More importantly, the reception set the tone for the week ahead as customers, partners and Mirion experts gathered to exchange ideas and begin conversations that continued throughout the conference.
