NAFEMS World Congress 2013

The theme of the upcoming Congress is a ‘World of Simulation’ with delegates attending from across the globe to be part of the only independent global simulation and analysis conference. NAFEMS World Congress provides a unique forum, unlike any other, where the international simulation community converge to share experiences and explore cutting-edge uses of the technology.

After a phenomenal response to the call for papers and an outstanding line-up of keynote speakers, this year’s Congress is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet.

The 2013 Congress will also represent great value for attendees – offering two-conference in one. The 1st International SDPM Conference has been launched, and will run alongside the NAFEMS World Congress in 2013 with Congress delegates having access to both.
