Join us for the inaugural JaamSim community gathering

Experience the world’s leading open source discrete event simulation software at our inaugural community gathering, where simulation leaders from around the globe come together to connect, share insights and exchange ideas.

The conference will feature presentations from JaamSim’s founders and users worldwide, showcasing how JaamSim has been applied to research, teaching and commercial projects. This year, we are honored to welcome renowned author and simulation expert Averill Law as our special guest speaker.

Topics included:

• JaamSim Basics

• Industry Case Studies

• Applications to Teaching

• Simulation Best Practices

• Architectural Road Map

• Developing Custom Objects

• Pit-to-Port Modelling

• Sub-models and Advanced Features

The conference will include discussions on both the free, open-source JaamSim platform as well as JaamSim Pro, a premium version that extends the JaamSim framework for modelling complex supply chains for resource and transportation industries.

We are also pleased to offer a separate JaamSim Pro Master Class for those interested in developing their skills in discrete event simulation modelling.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the JaamSim community and advance your simulation expertise.
