About the Regional Meetings
On Friday, April 17, 2026, HFES is organizing our second annual Regional Meetings - one-day, in-person gatherings designed to bring HF/E professionals together for impactful programming and networking opportunities closer to home. These regional events will take place across the U.S., allowing for greater accessibility to the benefits of face-to-face collaboration, typically found only at ASPIRE or our Healthcare Symposium.
- Dynamic Programming: Engaging regional and national sessions tailored to regional interests and challenges in the HF/E field
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with peers, share insights, and spark collaborations within your local community
- Cost-Effective Participation: Spend less time traveling and more time connecting with other professionals
This community consists of human factors and ergonomics engineers, designers, developers, designated company specialists and students in and around the region. A variety of presentation formats have been identified to facilitate both information sharing and socializing.
