ErgoCon'95 was created as a new partnership between professionals
concerned with ergonomics, human factors and related fields.

The field of Ergonomics/Human Factors today spans many different
disciplines.  ErgoCon'95 attempts to bring these communities
together.  Thus the interdisciplinary nature of the conference will
provide a framework for the scope of the sessions, workshops, and
panel discussions.  We are also anticipating a large and interesting
selection of exhibits to complement the technical presentations.

ErgoCon'95 has more than 70 contributed papers spanning topics in
-computer applications-, -product and software design-,
-disabilities-, -occupational health and safety-, -manufacturing-,
-computerized offices-, -legal issues-, -cost/benefits of ergonomics-,
-ADA compliance-, and -usability in practice-. In addition to
participating in the extensive conference program, attendees will have
a choice of 8 Pre and Post conference workshops and 4 scientific tours
of important state-of-the-art high technology companies in Silicon
Valley.  


Who Will Be There:

ErgoCon'95 is an interdisciplinary conference.  Attendees will include
human factors/ergonomics specialists, safety engineers and managers,
industrial hygienists, risk managers, industrial engineers, industrial
designers, occupational health nurses, human resource managers,
