IDSA District Conferences and Other Upcoming Events

• The IDSA site lists some dates for the upcoming regional conferences.  Note that many of these dates are still tentative and subject to change.  For example, the Northeast District conference is listed as April 18-20, but has already been moved up to April 4-6.  Also the conference themes/names and the links to the web sites may be leftover from last year or non-functional.  Your best bet is to contact the regional VP for your district (listed on the same page), to get the scoop.  We'll provide a more clear posting once things are locked-down.
• The web site for the 2008 Design and Emotion Conference (Hong Kong) is online.  "The International Conference on Design & Emotion is a forum where practitioners, researchers and industry meet and exchange knowledge and insights concerning the cross-disciplinary field of design and emotion."
• The web site for the 2008 Healthcare Systems Ergonomics and Patient Safety Conference (France).  "The first HEPS conference aimed at creating bridges among different disciplines (medicine and surgery, information technology, occupational psychology, clinical engineering and architecture, human factors and ergonomics) in order to share a strong interest in the promotion of human factors and ergonomics in healthcare and patient safety."
