Conventions have been a big part of the simming and online role playing community for more than 25 years. Held at various times throughout the year, they provide unique opportunities for players from multiple clubs to come together to share information, ideas, and energy. All four conferences below are open to all simmers and online role players, regardless of rank or group affiliation.

SciWorld is the oldest simming convention still in existence today. It was the brainchild of the Online Simulations Association’s Ender Maki, but was quickly adopted by the Simming League during the early planning phases of the first event.

- First held: 1999
- Typically held: Spring
- Current sponsor: The Simming Hub
