This annual conference focuses on the business and technology issues in the Simulation-based Engineering Sciences arena and draws delegates from many industry sectors all over the world, ranging from aerospace and oil and gas to civil engineering, manufacturing, biomechanics and appliances.

This year’s programme entitled “Evolving engineering simulation: The age of the digital twin” featured more than 150 speakers and 60 exhibitors and sponsors from different industry sectors and was attended by 1,000 delegates from all over the world. Odorizzi explained, “The digital twin is a virtual model or meta-model that accurately replicates a physical asset, service or process, allowing businesses to explore various possibilities created by changes to variables and dynamics.
