NEW YORK, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The 14th Annual National Ergonomics Conference and Exposition (NECE) at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Dec. 2-5, will feature a record number of conference sessions, and mark the debut of four new tracks of conference programming geared toward workplace design and occupational health professionals, as well as those that work in service and uncontrolled environments.

Attendees began registering before the final program was even released, proving again that ergonomics professionals rely on the NECE to provide cutting-edge strategies and case studies from ergonomics trailblazers.
