2026 NAFEMS UK Conference

C​all for Presentations

Tell Us Your Story – Present at the UK’s Leading Simulation & Analysis Conference

We want to hear your story – and share it with the UK’s engineering analysis community.

This is your opportunity to present at an industry-renowned conference, in front of a passionate audience of your peers. Join speakers from across sectors and specialisms, all united by a focus on engineering modelling, simulation, and analysis.

Whether you're breaking ground in simulation techniques, tackling complex modelling challenges, or sharing lessons learned from real-world applications – your insight matters.

We will be looking at every single aspect of simulation and if your presentation relates to simulation, we'll consider it. We have listed some current hot topics, potentially relevant technical areas and application areas below for inspiration, but we would be delighted to receive submissions outside of those areas: please don’t take the lists as exhaustive.

Hot topics include:

• Bridging the engineering skills gap in the AI age
• Sustainable engineering and circularity
• Confidence in results for certification by analysis
• The future of virtual engineering
• Combining simulation and physical test to maximise confidence
• Evaluating model validity
  

Application areas include

• Energy and power, including nuclear and renewables
• Life sciences, health and medical devices
• Manufacturing processes, robotics and automation
• Consumer products including food & drink
• Transport, including automotive, marine, rail and aerospace
• Civil engineering the built environment
  

Technical areas include all areas covered by NAFEMS WGs (link to list of WGs) and:
