Background
Transvalor is a French and multicultural company that is now the world leader in the simulation of material forming processes. It has 70 employees who are passionate about cutting-edge technology and innovation.
Every two years, Transvalor organises the Transvalor International Simulation Days, a major event on material forming simulation with 4 days of keynotes, lectures, sponsor pitches, and roundtables.
For the 3rd edition in 2021, because of the pandemic, Transvalor and Ikebana, the event management company, decided to maintain the industry’s key event by staging it virtually.
