Thank you for attending the 22nd Annual Applied Ergonomics Conference
So, did you come away from #AppliedErgo2019 with memories of Mississippi jazz cruises, the knowledge of how to implement exoskeletons in your manufacturing, or ways to build an ergonomics program to slash MSDs in half?
The
Conference Committee and
IISE thank you - and we look forward to doing it again next year, when the venue moves from New Orleans, the Big Easy, to Louisville, Kentucky. Turn your ergonomics program into a thoroughbred March 16-19, 2020, at the Kentucky International Convention Center, home of the Applied Ergonomics Conference 2020.
Stay in touch - join the Applied Ergonomics Society today
But don't wait a year - keep your new network and knowledge honed throughout the year by joining the
Applied Ergonomics Society. AES is the ergonomics home of many who have spent years building Applied Ergo into what it is today.
