The AnyLogic Conference 2021 was online and presented a record number of cutting-edge simulation models from world-leading organizations to 2000 participants from over 100 countries. Starting in the Tokyo morning and continuing non-stop to the Californian afternoon, for over 23 hours, on September 23 the conference followed the sun and gave simulation modelers around the world an opportunity to connect and learn simulation modeling at the cutting-edge.

Here are the presentation slides and recordings...

After great deliberation, The AnyLogic Company (AnyLogic) and FlexSim Software Products, Inc. (FlexSim) have decided they will not be attending, exhibiting, or sponsoring at the 2021 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC). The simulation leaders have had ongoing concerns with the organization and direction of recent WSC events. Despite numerous attempts to communicate with conference organizers, AnyLogic and FlexSim did not feel that the organizing committee could reasonably address their concerns.

The Winter Simulation Conference from INFORMS is a major event each year on the simulation modeling calendar. The event brings together leading simulation modeling practitioners, academics, and software vendors.

AnyLogic simulation software is longstanding favorite at the conference, with the software featuring in more case studies than any other simulation modeling tool. Here are presentation and workshop highlights, including videos and papers.

Every year is unique and 2020 was no exception. Reviewing the blog, it is clear that the simulation community responded well to many of the pandemic related challenges and continued with inspiring work throughout the year. In this review, see some of what defined 2020 for AnyLogic and how much there is to look forward to 2021.

We participated in WinterSim 2020 – the largest professional conference dedicated to simulation. During the conference, participants presented and discussed how they use simulation modeling in business and science, and software companies shared simulation modeling product innovations.

Our main presentation this year was about AnyLogic 9.0, a significant update to the simulation modeling software which we will release in 2021. Here are some of the new features to look forward to in the coming 9.x releases...

Upcoming features and functionality for AnyLogic 9 were previewed alongside AnyLogic 8.7 and AnyLogic Cloud developments at the online AnyLogic User Experience with MaxRad Software.

AnyLogic 9 will be a major update and many new details were revealed during the session from The AnyLogic Company CEO, Andrei Borshchev, Principle Software Engineer, Nikolay Churkov, and Head of AnyLogic Cloud Development, Alexander Rakulenko.

Here is the presentation recording with a follow-up question and answer session.

Presentations from industry leaders, including ITC Infotech, PwC, and TATA Steel, showed how AnyLogic simulations help deliver real-world solutions. Events took place in Bangalore, India and Doha, Qatar. Here is a short review and some presentation downloads, video recordings, and photos from the events. Read on!
