Winter Simulation Conference 2020

We are incredibly excited to announce that the Winter Simulation conference is going virtual for 2020.  This virtual-only format will allow us to safely serve our attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors.  As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its widespread impact without any clear timeline for when it will be safe for large groups to be together, the decision to go virtual was made keeping everyone’s safety as the top priority.  In a virtual format, we will spread the conference across 5 days, instead of the typical 3 day format.  More details to come, but please mark your calendars so you can join other simulation practitioners from around the world on December 14-18, 2020.

Simulation Drives Innovation - We live in exciting times in which the power of data and computing are at our fingertips. With this increased power comes increased complexity – which invites simulation as a natural tool to help drive innovation. This, in turn, allows us to innovate in the theory and practice of simulation itself. We invite papers that highlight innovations in both simulation theory and applications, with a specific interest in innovative uses of simulation in unconventional areas such as the humanities, social sciences, and the arts.
