About the Conference The 2026 Slips, Trips, and Falls International Conference will be held June 16-18, 2026, in Huntsville, Alabama, USA, and is hosted by The University of Alabama in Huntsville. This conference aims to bring together experts from around the world to share research excellence, industrial advances, and policy innovations in the prevention of slip, trip, and fall-related injuries. The Slips, Trips, and Falls International Conference is an activity of the International Ergonomics Association Slips, Trips, and Falls Technical Committee (IEA STF TC), which has hosted the conference in cities around the world since 2007. More information on the IEA STF TC and past conferences can be found here. Conference Goals Falls and fall injuries are common workplace injuries that span falls from heights and slips and falls on the same level that span industries (e.g., construction, educational and health services, healthcare and social assistance, and more). The 2026 Slips, Trips, and Falls International Conference aims to: Facilitate communication and collaboration on fall prevention strategies to reduce fall injuries for all. Encourage continued progress and improvement in slip/trip/fall prevention across various industries. Stay informed on global and cutting-edge advancements in slip/trip/fall prevention research and programs. Promote the creation of new networks, collaborations, and partnerships to further the field of slip/trip/fall prevention. Exchange ideas for innovative and effective solutions to address the rising issue of slip/trip/fall injuries. Keynote Speaker - Dr. Robinovitch Dr. Stephen Robinovitch is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Physiology & Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University and holds a Canada Research Chair in injury prevention and mobility. Dr. Robinovitch's research, carried out through the Injury Prevention & Mobility Laboratory, explores how falls and related injuries occur. With a special emphasis on risk faced by older adults. His team uses video analysis, wearable sensors, and biomechanical modeling to capture real-world data that informs the development of improved injury-prevention methods.
