The 65th Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society brought together professionals from around the world to share cutting-edge research and practical applications in human factors and ergonomics. Held in Baltimore and online in October 2021, this hybrid event allowed attendees to participate in person at the waterfront convention center or virtually from anywhere. The program featured technical sessions, keynote addresses, workshops, and poster presentations covering topics such as safety, health, human performance, and system design. This annual gathering served as a vital platform for reconnecting with colleagues, expanding professional networks, and advancing the science that improves how people interact with technology and their environments.

The meeting offered a rich array of activities designed to engage both seasoned practitioners and students new to the field. Attendees could explore the latest innovations through exhibits and sponsorships, participate in career development events, and attend special programming such as the plenary session and student day activities. The Baltimore location provided convenient access to the National Aquarium, museums, shopping, and dining, making it easy to extend the conference experience beyond the technical program. Additional online components ensured that virtual participants could also benefit from live sessions, networking opportunities, and on-demand access to recorded content throughout the event.

Throughout the planning process, the HFES community remained committed to monitoring the evolving public health situation to ensure a safe and productive experience for all attendees. Detailed guidance on vaccination, mask fit, and travel was made available, along with FAQs and instructions for both in-person and virtual participation. The conference app provided a central hub for navigating the schedule, accessing session materials, and connecting with other attendees. By offering this flexible hybrid format, the society demonstrated its dedication to inclusivity and its mission to continue advancing human factors and ergonomics science regardless of global circumstances.
