Flashback: Past OpenFOAM Conferences

OpenFOAM trademark is owned by ESI-OpenCFD

Five years ago in April 2013, ESI premiered the OpenFOAM Conference in Frankfurt, Germany with more than 200 participants from all parts of the world. With a mix of about 35 industrial speakers from Automotive, Chemical, Aerospace, Biotechnologies, Marine, Coastal Engineering etc., the event brought OpenFOAM creators and OpenFOAM users together to exchange and share their ideas and knowledge about OpenFOAM. Attendee numbers increased even more at our second and  third OpenFOAM User Conference 2014 in Berlin and 2015 in Stuttgart and also the fourth event, held in October 2016 in Cologne and the fifth event, held in October 2017 in Wiesbaden, was again extremely well received by the worldwide OpenFOAM community.

What do the attendees from former OpenFOAM Conferences have to say?
