The 7th Open Source CFD International Conference 2013 took place in Hamburg, Germany on 24th & 25th October. The conference attracted experts from academia and industry who shared the latest research in open source CFD. Industry sectors were represented by Oil and Gas, Steel Making, Automotive, Aerospace, Motor Sport, IT, Chemical, Tobacco, Consulting Engineering, Renewable Energy and Defence and Security. There were plenty of networking opportunities and the Conference was very well received as a valuable, stimulating and enjoyable event.

Keynotes from Koenigsegg and VirginiaTech opened a two-day packed agenda with presentations from 17 different countries, proving the international significance of the event.

David Green, ICON Commercial Director said "This year's conference was one of the best we have been involved with. The keynote speakers gave insightful presentations ranging from open source CFD driving rapid, high performance product design to reflections on how far the technology has developed during the last ten years. All presenters were diverse and interesting. Congratulations must go to the speakers and sponsors who embody the spirit of this event."
