MATLAB EXPO is a global series of virtual conferences that bring together engineers, scientists, and industry leaders to explore the newest features of MATLAB and Simulink. The 2026 editions in Paris, Tokyo, Silverstone, and other locations offer a curated agenda that can be tailored to individual interests, with broad industry tracks covering everything from AI in engineering design to advanced defence information systems. The event is designed for professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve in engineering and science, whether they work in aerospace, energy, automotive, or software development.

The program features a mix of keynote presentations, deep‑dive sessions, and success‑story panels. MathWorks engineers lead many of the talks, sharing practical insights and real‑world applications. Industry leaders such as Chris Armstrong from BAE Systems provide perspective on how MATLAB and Simulink are used in large‑scale projects. Speakers include Mary Ann Freeman, who discusses “Embedded Intelligence: The Future of AI in Engineering Design”; Dr. Maximilian Dürre of Siemens Energy, who explains “Operating at the Borderline Between Software and Electrical Engineering”; Mike Stephenson and Marc Willerton from Leonardo, who explore “Generating Information Advantage in a Complex Defence Environment”; and Maggie Oltarzewski and Adam Filion from MathWorks, who outline “What’s New in MATLAB and Simulink in 2025.” Each session is recorded and available in the proceedings archive for later reference.

The event’s format is entirely virtual, allowing participants worldwide to join from any location. Attendees can choose their agenda from a wide range of tracks, ensuring that the content aligns with their specific interests and career goals. The virtual platform supports interactive Q&A, live polling, and networking lounges, creating a dynamic learning environment. Participants are encouraged to engage with experts, learn from their experience, and be inspired by success stories that demonstrate how MATLAB and Simulink can accelerate innovation.

Goals of MATLAB EXPO include discovering the latest capabilities in MATLAB and Simulink, deepening knowledge of emerging trends, and exploring new techniques that can be applied immediately to participants’ own objectives. The event also aims to foster a community of practice where engineers and scientists can exchange ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and collaborate on future projects.
