Not only do our specialist retail partners meet with us every year, but our technicians also come to Ottobrunn for two days to exchange ideas and take part in "live" and "on-site" training sessions. This year, three training events were planned for this purpose, which were very well attended.

Our LATAM team attended the SIAC congress, which took place in Mexico this year, for the second time. SIAC is the Inter-American Congress of Cardiology and is - as it looks at the moment - becoming an important part of our events in the LATAM region. Our team was also able to make new valuable contacts this year.

The 33rd meeting of the European Society of Hypertension is now behind us and this year we were able to enjoy a home game and "only" travel as far as Berlin. With our new software model of haemodynamic phenotypes in our luggage, we were able to hold lots of discussions and expand our knowledge of the latest trends in blood pressure.

The 130th Congress of the German Society of Internal Medicine was held this year under the motto: Precision Medicine - Wishes and Realities. Here, too, we were able to spend four interesting days at a very well-attended congress. It was great that we were able to be there again this year.

Of course, we travelled on to Berlin straight after the DGK to be present at the DMEA. The DMEA was all about AI and we were able to score very well with our software solution. There was a varied programme and time for good discussions and new contacts.

This year, due to construction work in the congress building, we were at the annual cardiology conference in a somewhat smaller form. Fortunately, this was not a problem and we were once again able to enjoy a successful event with good attendance at our stand. Our new AI is a big attraction, so we were always able to hold lively discussions.

Together with our sales partners from Stuttgart and the surrounding area, we had a large presence at MEDIZIN in Stuttgart this year. With a total of 12,300 visitors, this event is always a winner. The combination of trade fair and medical congress means that a wide audience is represented every year.

The 49th Congress of the German Society for Hypertension and Prevention is behind us and once again we were able to score points with our validated custo screen 310, which has received a few updates this year. We will certainly be at the start again next year - then at the anniversary symposium in Heidelberg.

This year, we were once again able to welcome our German specialist retail partners to the wonderful location at Schloss Hohenkammer. Two informative days are behind us and we are already looking forward to 2024 - true to the motto: the same procedure as every year!

With 30,000 participants and an unbelievable number of custo interested people, the congress of the European Society of Cardiology in Amsterdam was a complete success. We are already looking forward to continuing our ESC story next year in London.

custo goes South America! For the development of the South American market we successfully founded a subsidiary - "custo med LATAM S.A.S." based in Colombia. On 12 July it became official at the AHK Colombia - congratulations custo med LATAM!

We were also represented at the 32nd Congress of the European Society of Hypertension. Our stand was well visited and many interesting discussions took place. In particular the presentation of the phenotypes and the presence of Dr. Dagnóvar Aristizábal provided an occasion for lively scientific exchange

This year, we were again represented with a small team at the small but nice conference of the German Society for Prevention and Rehabilitation of Cardiovascular Diseases.  The topic this year was "Challenges of modern rehabilitation - climate, technology, lifestyles".

For the first time, we also participated in the FIME in Miami. FIME is the little sister of Arab Health and covers the entire American market. Our South America team was able to gain its first trade fair experience in this market with an information stand in the German pavilion.

For the first time we participated in a congress in Panama. With our new LATAM team, we were able to make good contacts at the congress, which was attended by around 1,500 participants. A successful start for the South American market.

700 national and international exhibitors, more than 300 speakers, over 16,000 participants and an increase of almost 50 per cent compared to the last event before Corona and 45 per cent compared to 2022. These are figures to be proud of. We look forward to next year!

Of course, we were also at the 129th Internists' Congress from 22 to 25 April 2023 in Wiesbaden. The theme "Systemic Thinking - Individual Therapy" was an exciting focus. There was a varied programme and time for good discussions and new contacts.

This year's annual meeting of the DGK took place from April 12 to 15, 2023 as a presence event in Mannheim and was held under the theme "Epidemic heart failure: explore mechanisms, heal hearts!". We were pleased about a successful event with good attendance at our booth.

For the start of the 2023 trade show, we visited Arab Health in Dubai again this year. It was four successful days at a completely booked event. We met many partners and gave training sessions at the booth for the first time. A concept that we will expand in the future. We are already looking forward to the upcoming trade fairs.

Every year again and every year a little bit better. This year we were able to welcome our partners in the wonderful location of Schloss Hohenkammer and spend two informative and exciting days with them. We are already looking forward to next year!
