Welcome to 3DEXPERIENCE® Discovery Day 2026!
This year, we are bringing the energy of our annual gathering to a brand-new location: the Nordic Light Hotel in the heart of Stockholm.
Year after year, our attendees tell us that the greatest value of this event is the opportunity to break out of silos and network with peers from different industries. Across all sectors, the challenges of digital transformation are shared—and the best solutions are often found through cross-industry collaboration.
Join leaders, decision-makers, and experts from across the Nordics for a full day dedicated to learning, building valuable relationships, and shaping the future of industrial transformation.
Why Attend?
During this year's event, uncover how Industrial AI, at the core of Virtual Twins and the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, is fundamentally changing how we innovate, design, manufacture, operate, and manage products throughout their lifecycle.
This is your platform to strengthen executive relationships, share best practices with fellow users, and see how Dassault Systèmes acts as a critical catalyst for future-proof business solutions.
Event Agenda & Format
We have designed a dynamic, two-part day structured specifically to maximize both insights and valuable networking time:
- Morning Plenary Sessions: Hear from industry visionaries on how the platform solves complex business challenges today and in the future.
- Networking Lunch & Intermission: Connect with peers from across the Nordic ecosystem to share perspectives and discuss shared challenges.
- Afternoon Breakout Tracks: Dive deeper into industry-specific trends, real-world success stories, and tailored strategies.
- Interactive Demo Pods: Explore dedicated theme stations throughout the day and get hands-on answers from our technical experts.
Connect. Innovate. Transform
Whether you are looking to sharpen your technical skills, expand your professional network across sectors, or drive corporate strategy, this is the premier event to discover new perspectives.
