The 2026 SAMS AGV Summit has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date. Please check back later for updated information.The Summit on Advancing Modeling and Simulation for Autonomous Ground Vehicles (SAMS AGV) returns to Mississippi State University in February 2026 for its next in-person gathering. Building on the success of our 2023 and 2024 events—which brought together hundreds of attendees from across government, academia, and industry—SAMS AGV 2026 will continue to foster collaboration and advance the state of AGV modeling and simulation.
The 2026 summit will focus on practical guidance and real-world implementation—tackling questions like:
- How to build and validate high-fidelity virtual environments
- How to evaluate simulation fidelity and performance
- How to integrate M&S into CI/CD pipelines and operational workflows
