Bladed User Conference in Hamburg

We are excited to invite you to the Bladed User Conference 2025, where we’ll unveil Bladed 5 and explore the future of wind turbine simulation

Join fellow engineers, researchers, and industry experts for a day of innovation, collaboration, and insight.

Topic highlights

This event is an opportunity to meet the team of experts working on Bladed, learn about new developments and help shape the future of the product.

The main focus of the event is to present Bladed 5 - a new version of Bladed re-designed for automation, flexibility and collaboration. The new software will be discussed and demonstrated in detailLearn the basics of what Bladed 5 is here.

The increasing size and flexibility of onshore and offshore wind turbines places new demands on aeroelastic modelling. We'll present the latest Bladed features to support the design and analyis of large wind tubines, from aerodynamics to structures and stability.

The Bladed development team is focusing more than ever on working together with our users to build the right product and features. This event is a great opportunity to meet the development team, as well as other users of Bladed to discuss challenges and best practices.
