Given the power of insight and learning that simulation provides, you might question why simulations are not more widely used. This facilitated interactive brainstorming session intends to follow up the discussion on M&S accessibility problem at the 2018 MODSIM conference. The purpose is to try and understand how our M&S community can reach new users and decision makers. All attendees welcome.
