HPEE Meetings

HPEE Annual Meetings

Annual meetings are a primary way HPEE brings together those interested in extreme environments. Scientists, researchers, operational personnel, students, and other professionals present their latest research, theory, and applied findings in a variety of areas related to human performance.

With a mixture of paper presentations, panel discussions, and invited addresses, all in a relaxed and interactive atmosphere, annual meetings are an ideal way to learn more about the field of extreme environments and interact with fellow attendees.
