Join Lucid Reality Labs’ Keynote at the 2025 Florida Simulation Summit! Lynn Welch, our Chief Growth Officer, will deliver a deep-dive technology speech, “From Battlefields to Smart Cities: Forging the Future with AI and XR,” on May 9 in Orlando.
From Battlefields to Smart Cities: Forging the Future with AI and XR
Drawing from a career at the forefront of simulation innovation — from immersive military training at the Institute for Defense Analyses to pioneering AI and XR solutions across healthcare, security, and manufacturing — Lynn Welch shares a powerful perspective on modeling, simulation, and training evolution. This keynote explores how decades of innovation in immersive technologies are now converging with AI to drive smarter, more resilient cities and expand human performance. Attendees will gain insight into the lessons learned from the simulation’s past and the bold possibilities shaping our future.
“By uniting AI’s predictive power with XR’s immersive insights, we’re not just visualizing possibilities, we’re engineering a smarter, more connected future where data becomes tangible, we can walk through insights, prototype tomorrow’s solutions in today’s world, and drive decisions that truly transform our cities and industries,” says Lynn Welch.

Lynn’s deep experience extends to successfully navigating the complexities of bringing cutting-edge technologies to market, having played pivotal roles in scaling four distinct VC and PE-backed companies specializing in advanced simulation, AI, and integrated sensor technologies through to successful public offering or acquisition. This includes architecting the go-to-market strategy for a pioneering early-stage AI analytics firm dating back to 2008, alongside driving innovation within homeland security technologies and healthcare simulation.
Now spearheading global growth and strategic expansion for Lucid Reality Labs’ advanced AI-powered VR/AR applications in Healthcare, MedTech, Pharma, Manufacturing, and Entertainment, Lynn offers a unique and compelling perspective on the powerful convergence of simulation’s rich history with the transformative, AI-driven future of expanded human performance and training.
About the 2025 Florida Simulation Summit
In partnership with the National Center for Simulation (NCS) and Orange County Government, the 2025 Florida Simulation Summit highlights how Central Florida’s multibillion-dollar Modeling, Simulation, and Training (MS&T) industry has diversified from defense into transportation, theme parks, and other commercial applications. These “dual-use technologies” help make the Orlando area a Smart Cities leader and a global center for technology innovation. The 2025 Summit will feature artificial intelligence (AI), simulation, and other immersive technologies that help companies and cities be smarter, more efficient, and innovative, and will showcase AI and immersive technologies under the theme “Smart Decisions Build Smart Cities: Optimizing Operations with AI and Simulation”. Among other notable speakers, visitors will hear from IBM, Universal Orlando, NVIDIA, and learn how artificial intelligence, simulation, and other immersive technologies help companies and cities be smarter, more efficient, and innovative. The Florida Simulation Summit convenes 300+ government, industry, and academic leaders.
