IEA 2021 – Going Hybrid!

IEA2021 will be a hybrid event, comprising both an in-person conference and a virtual conference

Going hybrid will allow people who, for a variety of reasons, will not be able to join the in-person conference in Vancouver to participate in the most important human factors and ergonomics conference of 2021. As such, this initiative will take to a whole new level the IEA mission to elaborate and advance ergonomics science and practice while expanding its scope of application and contribution to society.

The IEA 2021 Congress will comprise 5 days of technical content, including plenary sessions at the start of each day followed by 12 concurrent sessions. We have also added ePosters to enhance the traditional poster boards. The ePosters will be dynamic, supporting several presentation formats. Times for interacting with the authors will be posted, but the posters will be available on your mobile app during the Congress and for 30 days afterwards. We believe this initiative will promote greater interaction and will have a great impact.

Registration fees will be reduced to make the virtual conference widely accessible. And, virtual session delegates will be able to join the online webinars at scheduled times to pose questions and interact with the authors. The recorded virtual sessions will be available on demand for 30 days post Congress. In-person delegates will have access to the virtual conference as well.

The main body of the Congress will be the in-person conference. We urge everyone to submit proposals for lectures or ePosters and plan to attend the in-person event. It will be truly unforgettable! Nothing can really replace the in-person experience.

The deadline for paper proposals is September 25, 2020
