Where Simulation's Future Gets Decided.

For the first time, the ASSESS Simulation Leadership Summit comes to Europe.

Amsterdam, Netherlands | 8 - 10 March 2027

The ASSESS Simulation Leadership Summit is where the industry's thought-leaders and change-drivers come together to secure engineering simulation's position as an integral part of delivering business value.

You already know the problem - despite serious investment in technology and genuine talent across your organisation, the gap between simulation's potential and its business impact persists. AI initiatives stall at the pilot stage. Simulation still sits one step removed from mission-critical decisions. The contribution to the bottom line is real, but nowhere near what it should be.

Closing that gap is a leadership problem, not a technical one.

That's what this summit aims to solve.

Now in Europe

After ten years in the United States, the Summit crosses the Atlantic for the first time in 2027.

Europe is home to a huge concentration of the world's simulation-intensive industry, from aerospace and automotive OEMs to the regulatory bodies shaping how simulation supports certification. Leaders of those organisations can now join the conversation without a transatlantic flight, and the strategies developed here will carry a distinctly broader set of perspectives because of it.

If you attended in Atlanta before, then you know what these three days deliver.

If you're in Europe and the travel has kept you away until now, this is your year.

What happens at a leadership summit?

This is not passive attendance. It's collaborative, structured problem-solving with people who face the same challenges you do.

Limited to just 80 senior executives. No vendor pitches. No exhibition halls. Just the space and time for the discussions that don't happen anywhere else.

You'll develop actionable strategies alongside executives from the likes of Boeing, Piper, MillerKnoll and many more, through facilitated working sessions on:

• Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
• Business Challenges
• Achieving Certification by Engineering Simulation
• Engineering Simulation Confidence & Governance
• Democratization of Engineering Simulation
• Integration of Systems and Detailed Sub-System Simulations
• Engineering Simulation Digital Twin(s)

Each working session builds directly on the outcomes of the 2025 and 2026 Summits, with expert facilitators guiding small groups through structured problem-solving. This is a conversation with continuity. You're not starting from zero, you're joining a body of work.

Our invited speakers, to be confirmed, will add depth to the discussion.

And to close, we bring together the ideas, strategies and commitments from across the three days, and agree how the community takes them forward.

You'll leave with concrete strategies, connections that matter, and a clear roadmap for progress.

Who Attends

Company owners and presidents. CEOs, CTOs and CIOs. Directors, VPs and the senior managers who own simulation strategy.

If you're a decision maker frustrated by the gap between technical capability and business impact, and you're ready to do something about it, you belong here.

The 2027 Summit will bring together simulation leadership from across Europe, North America and beyond. Expect the peers you know, and the ones you should.
