The Applied Ergonomics Conference (AEC) is one of the largest and most impressive ergonomics conferences
in North America. Presenters are practitioners sharing real-world experiences and practical solutions to
common problems in industry. This conference provides comprehensive and broad-spectrum education for
employees at all levels (managers to professionals to line-workers).
The Conference also provides:
- Companies around the world 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.
