10 Years of MESCONF – Let’s Talk Models, Not B.S.

April 16, 2025 / rhapsody207 / 1 Comment / Edit

🎉 We’re celebrating 10 years of modeling, collaboration, and fresh ideas!

📅 May 22–23, 2025 | 📍 Infineon Campeon, Munich

Let’s cut to the chase: 2025 marks 10 years of MESCONF.

What started as a small prototype has grown into the go-to event for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) pros, tool nerds, process thinkers—and let’s be honest, all of us who just really like making complex stuff actually work.

Whether you’re a Systems Engineer, Architect, Tool Wizard, or just MBSE-curious, MESCONF is where the real conversations happen—with folks who know what they’re talking about, no PowerPoint fluff required.

💬 What’s on the agenda?

Classic expert talks? Yep.

Open discussion formats? You bet.

PowerPoint prison? Nope.

Pre-scripted speakers? Forget it.

The real star? Open Space.

Here’s how it works:

👉 Got a topic? Bring it.

👉 Others care? Talk about it.

👉 No hierarchy, no moderator—just smart people exchanging real-world ideas.

From SysMLv2 to traceability, simulation, tool integration, and yes—AI in modeling—Open Space is where the sparks fly.

🤖 My 2 cents this year:

I’m pitching an Open Space session on AI in modeling.

(And yes, I do say “AI” not “KI”. “KI” sounds like a technique for getting cows pregnant—no offense to the cows. 🐄💉)

On a serious note:

  • Where does AI actually help in MBSE?
  • Where is it just shiny nonsense?
  • How can we integrate smart assistance into our workflows without handing over the model to some black box?

Curious? Opinionated? Just want to argue a bit over coffee? Come join the conversation—I’d love your input.

🛠️ Why bother showing up?

Because modeling is how we wrangle complexity.

Because MBSE doesn’t have to live in an ivory tower.

And because MESCONF is one of the very few places where you’ll find open, honest, practical exchange without corporate smoke and mirrors.
