In 1987, the Western New York chapters of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the Industrial Design Society of America organized and hosted Interface '87. This three-day conference was sponsored by the Consumer Products Technical Group of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and concentrated on the application of Human Factors and Industrial Design principles to the design of consumer products. This conference was chaired by Stan Caplan. Since that time, the chapter has continued to grow. The chapter has remained active, holding bi-annual meetings and sponsoring other events throughout its history.
More specific information is available in the chapter's annual summary to the national chapter.
