Conference in London

For the second time in as many years, I volunteered for the Ergonomics Society's Annual Conference. This year is extra special as the Society is celebrating its 60th anniversary. The venue chosen for the conference is the Royal College of Physicians, near Regent's Park. A beautiful venue indeed.

This time around, the physical work was less. Much praise should go to Sue Hull and her team for organising a lot - and i mean A LOT - before the start of the conference. When the volunteers arrived, the registration desk was more or less ready to accept delegates.

Overall, I enjoyed being a volunteer at this conference. On the academic side, I managed to link Situational Leadership to Lean Management based on Ken Catchpole's presentation. I think that is one good way to demonstrate the link between psychology and ergonomics.

This is the Secretariat team. From left: Lauren, Nick, Dave, Lisa, Sue, Ed, Thomas, Nora, Gerry, and yours truly.


























This is the view in one of the parallel session. See... so many people, right? Macam kat Malaysia jugak. Bila konferen menghampiri penghujung, audien makin nipis.


























This is me with Tom Stewart. He is the chairman of the Ergonomics Society. He remembered that I attended the talk that he gave at Multimedia University.



























These are the delegates, forced to go out of the building due to a fire alarm. Alas, it was a false alarm. But it did gave people time to enjoy the good weather outside.
