NAFEMS Events
6
We host over 60 independent events every year focused on the issues
and trends in engineering simulation
World Congress NAFEMS World Congress is a biennial global conference which has been a fixture on the simulation calendar for 30 years.
Bringing together the international community in a neutral forum the last Congress in Stockholm attracted over 600 attendees including industrial users, software vendors and academics.
Conferences Throughout the year, NAFEMS holds a number of conferences including dedicated regional and specific events across the globe.
Seminars Several seminars are hosted every year focusing on current areas of interest as well as emerging topic areas.
Webinars Online webinars take place frequently allowing members to attend our events, no matter where in the world they are.
NAFEMS members benefit from seminar credits enabling many events to be attended inclusive of membership. Members also receive significant discounts on our World Congress and Training.
