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.
