Additional Exposure for Vendors

Vendor Workshops

Vendor Workshops will take place on Sunday, December 6. For each exhibit space purchased, vendors have the opportunity to give one 120-minute workshop. No abstract is required for the proceedings, but a description of the workshop will appear in the conference program and on the website. If your company would like to present a workshop, a $150 USD audio visual fee is required. These workshops are offered to attendees for no additional fee.

Vendor Track

In addition to the Sunday Workshops, exhibitors can participate in the Vendor Track at WSC. The Vendor Track provides an opportunity for companies that market modeling and simulation technology and services, or related services (e.g., statistical analyses) to present their innovations and successful applications.

For each slot in the Vendor Track, vendors should submit a simple abstract or 2-page Extended Abstract.  Extended Abstracts appear online and in the final program, but neither appear in the archival proceedings (due to IEEE rules). Extended Abstracts are reviewed by the track coordinators and may entail revisions. Extended Abstracts must use the Authors Kit to adhere to the publication format requirements. The submission deadline for abstracts is July 31, 2026.   More details on Paper Submission/Formats.

User Group Meeting

Vendors also have an option to schedule a User Group Meeting on Tuesday, December 8, in the evening after technical sessions end. There is no additional fee for audio visual.  Companies will be responsible for ordering their own catering.
