Modelling World 2025
17-18 June 2025, Manchester Conference Centre


MW 2025: more networking, more interactivity and key modelling discussion
Networking & interactive debate
17-18 June 2025
Now in its 20th year, Modelling World 2025 will be moving to Manchester on 17 and 18 June 2025, with a renewed focus on excellence, innovation and diversity across the transport modelling and data science professions.
With a new, larger venue and a more interactive format, Modelling World will share novel techniques and breakthroughs, celebrate success and ask, in a new era of uncertainty, are our current tools and processes up the the tasks being asked of us?
The transport modelling community is being challenged to support a single national vision that helps deliver integrated transport solutions that meet the needs of local communities, grow the economy, deliver decarbonisation and build in opportunity for all – and transport has a role to play in all these areas.
Modelling World is where transport modellers meet, share best practice, explore and challenge innovation, and celebrate success.
And, as always, the must-attend MW 2025 Dinner and Social Networking event takes place from 18.30 in the Pioneer Room of the Pendulum Hotel on the evening of the 17 March..
What's happening?

Who's attending?
The 2025 Annual Conference & Exhibition for data and modelling
Modelling World 2025 is a live event that brings together the UK's professional – and rapidly developing and expanding – data and modelling community. Modelling World typically attracts over 350 delegates and 100 exhibitors.
This year, along with welcoming our committed community of expert modellers and data specialists from national, regional and local government, consultancy, entrepreneurs and innovators, we will be reaching out to professionals with increasingly relevant insights for transport modellers, including data scientists and modellers working in non-transport and cross-industry sectors:
We will also be thinking of the modellers of the future, and how we educate, train and support current and future modellers. In 2025, alongside colleagues from the Department for Transport, we'll focus on:
-
Missions and Visions: How modelling can support the Government's missions
-
How models can be used in early decision-making
-
Modelling for active modes
-
Modelling integration
-
A new generation of models and modellers: an intergenerational focus
-
Plus, an innovation showcase of artificial intelligence, smart visuals, data driven decision-making and open source modelling tools
