Events
Simulation Leadership Forum
April 23-24, 2024 | Helsinki, Finland
A network platform for industry and tech leaders to share insights on how simulation accelerates product development, cuts costs, enhances performance, and reduces environmental impact. It fosters connections, enabling the exchange of knowledge, vital for progress and innovation.
Discover A Unique Event
Take simulation to new levels through connections and collaboration.
Combining different areas of engineering simulation at the highest level requires a changed mindset, leadership, collaboration and persistence. This is why we have chosen “Connections” as the key topic for SLF 2024.
But the ‘Connections’ theme doesn’t stop there – it is also what delegates establish during their networking at SLF – between individuals, companies and industries; and many continue to flourish years after they are first established at SLF.
Meet and Collaborate
Meet people with the same aspirations and challenges to exchange experience – or better yet, collaborate with each other to develop new ideas, tools and services to truly drive your business forward.
Understand how they use simulation to lead their industries, access new markets, and serve their customers in ways that were once out of reach.
Obtain Best Practices
Hear all about how the industry thought leaders have overcome challenges and learn about the steps they are taking to drive simulation initiatives within their organisations.
Best practices on how to present the business case of simulation and how to improve both internal and external communication about it.
Innovation Drives Success
Digital transformation is hard, and simulation is no exception.
As you collaborate with members and leaders of the SLF network you’ll begin to reach new insights and opportunities into how simulation can help your business move faster and reach farther than ever before.
Live Event in Helsinki | April 23-24, 2024
We are thrilled to invite you to the Simulation Leadership Forum
An immersive live event dedicated to exploring the intricacies and advancements in leadership within the realm of simulation.
Now in its eight year, the event enables leaders to come together to unlock the full potential of simulated environments in leadership development. Together, we will redefine the boundaries of what is possible and pave the way for a new era of leadership.

Who We Have Helped
This is not a competition, it is actually an opportunity to deliver what is expected of us in the near future.
— Hege Brende / CEO of Rainpower
EDRMedeso’s guided Simulation Leadership Advisory process has given us an invaluable insight into our current situation and identified our simulation strengths and weaknesses. These insights are creating a stable launch pad and show us how best to proceed up the simulation maturity curve and make our new simulation strategy come alive.
— Frederik Dynesen / Department Head R&D, Haas Meincke A/S (Part of Buhler Group)
