Company milestones

• Did you know that - Convene originated from a small entrepreneurial adventure in Sandane, in the old county of Sogn og Fjordane? It all started as an idea from a general practitioner who wanted to solve the time crunch for himself. He had an old parking meter converted to accept payments from his patients.
• Did you know that - The company was originally called Melin Medical? It was established in 2010 and marked the beginning of our amazing self‑service journey, which five years later led to us receiving the Innovation Award for Universal Design in the Service Design category.
• Did you know that - Our acquisitions of the companies Gordion in 2018 and Arribatec Hospitality in 2025 are part of our strategy for international growth and entry into new industries?
• Did you know that - All our companies are now united under the Convene brand? This creates a shared identity and strengthens our ambition to simplify everyday life for everyone.
