Applied Ergonomics Conference 2010: Practitioners Talking with Practitioners
Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2009
The Applied Ergonomics Conference (AEC) is one of the largest, most impressive ergonomics conferences in North America, providing comprehensive, broad-spectrum education for employees at all levels (manager to professionals to line-workers). Presenters are practitioners sharing real-world experiences and practical solutions to common problems in industry.
No Other Conference Provides:
Companies around the country with an avenue for recognition of expertise and achievements in ergonomics as well as cost-effective business practices/solutions.
An opportunity for professionals from a variety of specialties to discuss ergonomics issues with similar causes, effects or solutions (e.g. using manual handling equipment to transport cleaning equipment vs. auto parts vs. boxed customer products).
An opportunity to share ideas between non-similar organizations (e.g., moving items in distribution sites vs. transporting cleaning equipment in a hospital vs. transferring items in an assembly process).
A meeting venue for multi-site companies or professional groups to meet together while engaging in continuing education opportunities. (Have a mini-conference with your peers while onsite.)
A networking opportunity for professionals and line workers from similar organizations (e.g., automaker to automaker) that facilitates an informal exchange of ideas.
An avenue for general conversation/networking with subject matter experts (SMEs). • Healthy competition and sharing of ideas within your organization when applying for the Ergo Cup competition. • A focused avenue for CEUs required for licensure or professional organization participation. • An opportunity for new speakers to gain confidence and comfort with presentation skills, especially graduate students. • An avenue for students/job seekers to meet potential employers.
The AEC 2010 will emphasize informal Roundtable discussions where people with similar interests will meet with a facilitator to discuss particular topics of interest, sharing what each participant does or would like to do at his/her facility.
