What to Expect
The Symposium offers a varied programme designed to reflect the realities of working in simulation beyond the glass, combining professional learning with time to connect, reflect, and unwind.
Across the event, delegates can expect a mix of:
Keynote Sessions
Keynote sessions from individuals with experience in simulation technology, operations, and service development. These talks set the tone for the day, exploring themes relevant to technical simulation roles, shared challenges, and future directions for the simulation technical workforce.
Workshops
Interactive workshops focused on practical, beyond‑the‑glass topics. Sessions are designed to encourage discussion, problem‑solving, and the sharing of approaches from different organisations and simulation settings.
Panel Discussions and Open Conversations
Facilitated discussions bringing together a range of perspectives from the simulation technical community. These sessions create space for honest conversation, shared reflection, and collective learning around common challenges and opportunities.
Networking and Informal Exchange
Time throughout the event to connect with others working in similar roles, share experiences, and build relationships across organisations. Informal conversation is recognised as an important part of professional learning and community building.
Exhibitor Engagement
Opportunities to engage with exhibitors offering simulation technologies, services, and support. Exhibitor interactions are embedded into the programme to encourage purposeful discussion and meaningful, user‑led conversations.
Social Event - The Sumposion
The Symposium also includes a dedicated social event, providing a more relaxed space for delegates to continue conversations, connect informally, and build relationships away from the structured programme.
The social element is an intentional part of the Symposium — recognising the value of peer connection, shared experience, and community within the simulation technical workforce.
