SIMULATION AND MODELLING 2026
SIMULATION AND MODELLING 2026
29-30 September 2026
Austin Court, Birmingham
As engineering systems become more complex, balancing performance, safety, cost, and sustainability is increasingly challenging. Simulation and modelling are essential tools that enable engineers to test ideas virtually, validate data, reduce risk, and make better decisions before physical development begins.
Now in its 6th edition, the Simulation and Modelling Conference by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) brings together engineers, researchers, and industry professionals to explore how simulation is being used to solve practical engineering problems across multiple sectors.
The conference will cover key topics including:
Through technical presentations, expert insights, and real‑world case studies, attendees will gain practical knowledge and learn how to apply simulation techniques in their own work.
Industries represented include energy, transport, infrastructure, manufacturing, and healthcare, providing a broad perspective on the role of simulation in modern engineering.
Join Simulation and Modelling 2026 this September to connect with peers, explore the latest developments, and understand how simulation is shaping the future of engineering.
Our 2026 themes
Based on delegate feedback and current industry trends, this year’s conference will focus on themes such as:
Digital twins and connected systems
Discovering opportunities within the new digital era
AI-enhanced simulation
Data for simulation and modelling
Industry perceptions on ‘Digital Twins’
Data utilisation strategies to increase effectiveness and reliability in simulation
Fantastic opportunity to network with some of the leading engineers and organisations working in the simulation and modelling field.
