    ==============================================================================================================
    WSC 2019 provides a unique opportunity to reach key simulation practitioners and researchers from all disciplines in the industry, government and university sectors. Expected attendance is 650+.

    Sunday Vendor Workshops
    Vendor Workshops will take place on Sunday, December 8. For each booth purchased, vendors have the opportunity to give one 45-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, an $80 Audio Visual Fee is required. These workshops are offered to attendees for no additional fee.

    Vendor Track
    In addition to the Sunday Workshops, exhibitors have the opportunity to participate in the Vendor Track at WSC. The Vendor Track provides an opportunity for companies that market modeling and simulation technology and services to present their innovations and successful applications. For each reserved booth, vendors get a 45-minute time slot in the track.

    For each slot in the Vendor Track, you have two options: submit a complete paper or an abstract. Abstracts and papers appear online and in the final program, but neither appear in the archival proceedings (IEEE rules). Abstracts are lightly reviewed by the track coordinator and papers are reviewed by multiple members of the committee and may entail revisions. On the basis of many years' experience, the Vendor Track chairs strongly encourage a complete paper, which will have markedly more value in drawing attention to your topic (for example, by attracting citations in subsequent published work).

    Best Regards,
