AES, the Applied
Ergonomics Society, supports the Annual Applied Ergonomics Conference and Expo,
a conference where attendees gather from around the world to share best
practices with other professionals in ergonomics, healthcare, safety, human
resources and risk management. AES is a society within IISE, an international,
nonprofit association that provides leadership for the application, education,
training, research, and development of industrial engineers, human
factors/ergonomics professionals, healthcare providers and related professions.

dates NOW IN PLACE
for AEC virtual: Aug. 4-6
May 12, 2020
While the 2020 Applied Ergonomic Conference (AEC)
originally scheduled for March 16-19 in Louisville, Kentucky, could not be held
as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IISE closely monitored the situation
and determined that the Conference would be reformatted as a virtual
event. We now have dates for this exciting online experience: Aug. 4-6.
In addition to participation in the virtual event, other
valuable services will also be provided to registrants. If you registered for
the March 2020 event in Kentucky, you will receive full registration for the
2021 Conference.
Registrants
for the March 2020 Conference will have the opportunity to have access to the
AEC 2020 virtual conference at no extra cost: IISE will apply
your AEC 2020 fee and automatically register you for AEC 2021 – allowing you to
attend next year’s conference at this year’s costs. In essence, this provides
the opportunity to participate in two conferences for the price of one.
Like
face-to-face conferences, virtual conference attendees will earn CEUs for
professional development and have access to presentations and exhibitors. AEC
2020 will include presentations guaranteed to impart new knowledge you can use
to reduce MSDs, jump-start or refine your ergonomics program and keep your
workforce safe and healthy – concerns amplified during these trying times.
The AEC
staff and volunteers truly appreciate your support, patience and cooperation as
we continue to work through this challenging situation. Look for updates on AEC
2020 at www.iise.org/AEC.
