SimTech Conference: Shaping the Future of Simulation Across IndustriesIn today’s fast-evolving industrial landscape, simulation is no longer a niche tool it is a strategic asset. From improving energy operations to enhancing rail safety and streamlining complex process systems, simulation is redefining how companies plan, train, and operate. The SimTech Conference, organized by CORYS, is the premier event dedicated exclusively to simulation technologies in the power, transportation, and process industries.Held in the scenic innovation hub of Grenoble, France, the SimTech Conference offers a unique, immersive experience for industry professionals, engineers, decision-makers, and simulator users. It brings together the best minds in simulation to explore new technologies, share valuable insights, and drive collaboration across traditionally siloed sectors.More Than a Conference: A Community of InnovatorsAt its core, SimTech is not just a series of presentations or vendor booths it’s a gathering of a specialized community. The people who attend are simulation professionals, operators, and developers who are using, testing, and pushing the boundaries of simulation every day.Whether you're involved in nuclear plant training, transportation system modeling, or refining operations, SimTech provides a cross-sectoral platform to connect and learn. The diversity of attendees fosters dialogue that extends beyond industry lines and sparks conversations that can lead to lasting innovation.Why Attend the SimTech Conference?The value of SimTech lies in its exclusive focus. While many conferences touch on simulation as part of broader agendas, SimTech is entirely dedicated to simulation and only to simulation. This clarity of purpose allows for highly relevant discussions, deep technical exploration, and actionable learning.Attendees can expect:1. High-Level Knowledge SharingCase studies from simulation users in power generation, rail systems, and chemical processingUpdates on simulator integration, upgrades, and digital twin capabilitiesDeep dives into human-machine interface design and real-time modeling2. Hands-On DemonstrationsLive simulator demos showcasing the latest advancements in fidelity, usability, and functionalityVirtual control room environments with real-time data flowScenario walkthroughs used in real-world operator training3. Expert Panels and Technical TalksIndustry leaders and CORYS engineers presenting on simulation development trendsTechnical Q&A sessions focused on application-specific issuesCollaborative problem-solving workshopsThis interactive and user-driven format ensures that attendees not only learn — they actively participate in shaping the future of their field.Simulation at the Core of Critical IndustriesSimulation plays a critical role across the three main sectors represented at SimTech:PowerTraining for nuclear and conventional power plant operatorsEmergency preparedness and risk reduction through scenario modelingReal-time simulation for system control and performance analysisTransportationRail driver training simulators for metro, tram, and high-speed networksInfrastructure modeling for timetable planning and energy efficiencySafety drills and human factors testing in virtual environmentsProcess IndustriesChemical plant and refinery simulation for process controlOperator qualification using advanced simulation platformsAsset lifecycle management enhanced by digital twinsBy showcasing use cases across all these domains, SimTech allows attendees to see how simulation connects operations, training, engineering, and safety into one integrated ecosystem.What Makes SimTech Different?In a market crowded with generalist tech expos and overly commercial conferences, SimTech sets itself apart through focus, depth, and authenticity. It is engineered by simulation experts, for simulation professionals which means every session, every demonstration, and every conversation is relevant, targeted, and impactful.Some defining features of SimTech include:Dedicated access to CORYS developers and engineersAn open environment for peer exchange without aggressive sales pressureA balance between strategic insight and practical, hands-on engagementAn international audience with shared professional challengesThis is a rare space where technical professionals and industry leaders meet on common ground not to sell or pitch, but to collaborate, solve problems, and grow together.Opportunities to Connect, Collaborate, and Co-CreateThe SimTech Conference places high value on personal interaction and professional growth. Beyond formal sessions, the event is designed to spark meaningful connections that extend well beyond the exhibition halls.Attendees benefit from:Small-group roundtables for sector-specific discussionsNetworking receptions and peer-to-peer meetupsCORYS-led breakout sessions that offer deeper dives into current and upcoming projectsOpen innovation spaces where participants can propose and brainstorm new ideasThese moments of dialogue are often where breakthroughs happen when professionals from different industries discover shared pain points or overlapping goals, leading to new partnerships or product improvements.A Snapshot of Who Attends SimTechThis conference is highly targeted, attracting high-caliber professionals and decision-makers who live and breathe simulation.
