(In the meantime, here's the Top 10 List (pps, 1.6M) for your amusement.)
Venue: The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting
Date: Tuesday, 10/20/2009, 10:30-Noon,
In keeping with the slightly unorthodox nature of his 2008 Presidential Address, Jeff Kelley
decided he was going to have to do something a "little different" for his 2009 President's
Forum.
The HF/E Show was in late-night talk show format with interviews
of special guests, Peter Hancock, Steven Casey, Tony Andre, and Michelle
Robertson.
There was a monologue, a Top 10 List, commercial breaks, film
clips, shameless book promotions, and music by "The HF/E Show Band" led by
(well, consisting solely of) San Antonio keyboardist Lou Cabaza, a veteran of
the Tonight Show Band.
Think www.hfestorycorps.org meets The Late Show.
Who says Human Factors and Ergonomics can't be Serious Fun??
The basic premise lies in the subtext of the event.
The stories behind what we do -- and, more poignantly, why we do it -- have tremendous potential for outreach.
Making it entertaining makes it engaging and encourages practitioners to open up about their hidden passions for their chosen calling.
This, in turn engages the attention of the potential beneficiaries of our work (i.e., humans) who, recognizing the potential of
HF/E for improving the quality of their lives, will bring concomitant pressure to bear on potential sponsors of our work.
