Military Simulation Training Summit

February 25-26, 2025 - Orlando, FL, United States

Exploring the latest trends in simulation training across the US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, Marine Corps, and Allied Nations

This year, the Land Forces Training Summit has expanded in scope to become the Military Simulation Training Summit taking place in Celeste Hotel, Orlando, FL on February 25-26, 2025. The conference will showcase the evolution of simulation and simulated training across the military branches and NATO nations. We will explore interoperability, expansion, and implementation of military-simulated training extensively.

This conference will cover how the military is advancing efforts to prepare next generation soldiers with simulated training. There will be a focus on how simulated training is pushing militaries across the world to leverage data for training, advance competency-based training, and prepare to respond to modern day threats.

Simulated training, including synthetic training and Live Virtual Constructive training, isn’t limited to one specific training situation. We will be exploring the depth of training it is being used for and the capabilities the US military and its allies are looking for. Whether it is submarine training, maintenance training, armored vehicle training, there will be an opportunity to meet with the decision-makers to understand its implementation and future requirements.

7 Reasons to Attend Military Simulation Training:

  • Receive clear direction from the United States military on how they plan on using simulated training to train the modern soldier
  • Hear from decision-makers on how they plan on implementing different aspects of simulated training, including MR, AR, and VR technologies
  • Hear from leaders across military branches on how joint training operations are developed and executed
  • How national guards throughout the United States stay ready through simulation training
  • Understand how the US military is leveraging data to improve synthetic training
  • Provide a clear understanding of how AI is used to improve simulation training
  • Modernizing training across NATO allies


Very valuable information on where to focus our investments going forward
