Abstract
In December of 2017, the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) celebrates its 50th anniversary. Among the special events planned to commemorate this milestone will be a track highlighting the history and fundamental contributions these conferences have made over the last decades to help in establishing the discipline of modeling and simulation. In addition, this book chapter provides a brief history of WSC, the structure of the conference, and important past, present, and future topics.
