Events
Simulation Leadership Forum
We’ll be back in 2025
A community where innovation never stops
With almost 100 delegates from 9 countries, 2024 Simulation Leadership Forum was a resounding success. Helsinki proved a great location for making connections and sharing knowledge, learnings and challenges.
It was inspiring to see so many simulation experts and strategists come together and formulate a future with simulation front and center.
We’re already excited for SLF2025!
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.
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.
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.
