AEC turns 30. Join the celebration.

Applied Ergonomics Conference 2027 celebrates 30 years of AEC — and this milestone year's call for abstracts is officially open.

Why it matters: Thirty years of Applied Ergo sessions have shared one thing in common: real practitioners presenting real results. The 30th anniversary program should be the best one yet — and that starts with your story and solutions on stage.

By the numbers:

  • 30th annual Applied Ergonomics Conference
  • March 22-25, 2027 — Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Atlanta, GA
  • Sept. 5 — abstract submission deadline
  • 6 presentation tracks, from Research to Reality to Technology in Ergonomics

Your next step: Outline your idea, pick your track, and submit before the room fills up.
