AI-Powered Engineering Deep Dive Seminar

Free Seminar | 14th October, 2025 | National Cycling Centre, Manchester

The future of engineering is powered by AI. Simulations that once took 24 hours can now be completed in seconds, allowing you to dramatically expand the “testable” confines of a challenge in a shorter time. Want to know how?

Join us for the third event in our AI-Powered Engineering series on October 14th at the National Cycling Centre, Manchester, for a half-day exploration of how AI is revolutionising engineering. From design to simulation to manufacturing, discover how AI enhances efficiency, accuracy, and innovation—transforming concepts into reality.

We’ll showcase real-world applications of AI-based physics, reduced order modeling, and predictive analytics, empowering you to integrate these cutting-edge tools into your development processes in just hours.

Whether you're looking to predict simulation results, optimize testing, boost manufacturing efficiency, or reduce warranty claims with AI—Altair provides everything you need at your fingertips.

Set within a venue synonymous with elite performance, the event combines inspiration, education, and networking for engineering excellence. Plus, you can see performance engineering in action when Team GB take to the track!
