At the 2012 HFES Annual Meeting, PDTG and HCTG will jointly host the 3rd annual networking event for members of those two technical groups. The first two events, in San Francisco and then Las Vegas, were held in a private area at a restaurant within walking distance of the conference hotel. In Las Vegas 138 attendees reconnected with old friends and met new ones while enjoying complimentary drinks and food. Event door prizes were given at the end of the event. This was all made possible by several generous companies and organizations who sponsored the event along with the two TGs. Thanks go to:
Case New Holland (CNH)
User Centric
UserWorks
National Center for Human Factors Engineering in Healthcare
Design Science
Usability Associates
Jay Pollack Consulting Human Factors Practice
Sponsors get exposure before during and after the event by way of emails, signage, newsletter articles, session announcements, and websites. For more details about sponsor benefits and how to make a tax-deductible donation, contact a member of the organizing committee.
