The events will gather leading architects, designers, and corporate decision-makers.
Dr. Hedge, hailed as “the most frequently cited ergonomist in the media,” has significantly influenced NASAโs astronaut workspaces and designs for Fortune 500 companies. With over 30 years leading Cornellโs Ergonomics program, his work continues to shape workplace strategies globally, earning features in BBC, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and TIME.
