The National Ergonomics Conference & ErgoExpo, often referred to as National Ergo, has established itself as a premier event in the field of ergonomics. Since its inception in 1994, the conference has been a pivotal platform for professionals seeking to enhance workplace ergonomics, safety, and wellness programs.
Over the years, National Ergo has evolved to address the dynamic challenges and advancements in ergonomics. The conference has provided the community with a comprehensive program of educational sessions, keynotes, and workshops. These sessions cover a broad spectrum of topics, including office ergonomics, industrial ergonomics, healthcare ergonomics, and the integration of emerging technologies like exoskeletons and artificial intelligence.
In December 2019, The Institutes, a leading provider of risk management and insurance knowledge, acquired the National Ergonomics Conference & ErgoExpo from LRP Media Group.
The conference has continued to adapt and evolve, reflecting the ever-changing landscape of workplace ergonomics. It remains a vital resource for professionals dedicated to improving employee well-being and organizational productivity through ergonomic solutions.
After more than 30 years, the National Ergonomics Conference and ErgoExpo is transitioning from its traditional in-person format to a new digital platform in 2025. While the live event has historically offered excellent learning opportunities and a platform for attendees to explore ergonomic products and services, the shift to a digital format aims to continue this tradition in a more accessible manner.
The Institutes remains committed to supporting the ergonomics community by highlighting industry thought leadership, showcasing innovative products, and providing valuable solutions.
