The Puget Sound Human Factors
and Ergonomics Society Presents:

The 2008 Occupational Ergonomics Symposium

Registration Coming Soon...

This year the Symposium will be held at
The Museum of Flight on September 17 & 18, 2008

Testimonial:
"First, let me express how impressed I was with your Symposium. It was outstandingly well organized and had an outstanding program. Your speakers were highly knowledgeable and articulate. Most importantly, they had much highly useful information to impart to your attendees. Members of your chapter and related professions in the area who did not attend missed a real gem of an opportunity for professional development. I was equally impressed with the financial support you were able to attain to insure the success of the symposium. You, your organizing team, and your Chapter are to be congratulated on a job extremely well done. For me personally, it was a genuine pleasure and honor to be your keynote speaker."
