Earlier this month, Avantes welcomed distributors from around the world to our headquarters for the 2026 Annual Distributor Meeting. Over the course of three days, partners came together to exchange knowledge, explore the latest developments in spectroscopy, and strengthen the partnerships that help us support customers worldwide.

The meeting featured a combination of product presentations, technical sessions, and interactive workshops, giving distributors the opportunity to learn more about recent developments across the Avantes portfolio and discuss market trends, applications, and customer needs.
One of the highlights of this year’s programme was the series of hands-on AvaSoftX workshops. Guided by our product specialists, distributors explored the software’s capabilities across a variety of applications, including chemometry, Raman spectroscopy, thin film measurements, LIBS, and irradiance. The practical sessions allowed participants to gain first-hand experience with the latest software features and workflows, helping them better support customers in their local markets.

Beyond the technical programme, the meeting provided an opportunity for distributors and Avantes colleagues to reconnect, exchange experiences, and discuss future opportunities. Bringing our international partner network together each year continues to strengthen collaboration and ensure that customers benefit from local expertise backed by the latest product knowledge.
We would like to thank all of our distributor partners for their enthusiastic participation, valuable discussions, and continued trust in Avantes. We look forward to building on these relationships and welcoming everyone again next year.
