The 11th International Conference on Managing Fatigue will be held from 11 to 13 August 2026 at The University Club of Western Australia in Perth, Western Australia.

Since its inception in 1993, this flagship conference has brought together leading researchers, policy makers, and industry practitioners to share the latest science and best practices in fatigue management. While the conference has a strong focus on transportation, it also attracts participants from natural resources, mining, healthcare, and the military, which creates a rich, cross-sector exchange of ideas and solutions.

Hosted at the University of Western Australia, a member of the Group of Eight leading Australian research universities, the event will offer a world-class program in a relaxed and collaborative setting on UWA’s riverside campus near Perth’s central business district and King’s Park.

The 2026 conference will feature:

• Invited presentations from internationally renowned experts in fatigue, sleep, human factors, and road safety.

• Sessions that bridge research and practice across multiple sectors where fatigue is a critical safety and performance issue.

• Opportunities to network with global leaders, practitioners, and researchers who are shaping fatigue risk management policy and practice.

If your work involves safety, transport operations, shift work, human factors, or occupational health, this conference is an excellent opportunity to stay up to date, share your experience, and build new collaborations.

Save the date and plan to join the Managing Fatigue community in Perth in August 2026. For registration, abstract submissions, sponsorship opportunities, and further event details, please visit the official conference website provided by the host organization.

A new national platform for traffic safety professionals is in the works—the inaugural Canadian Traffic Safety Conference, tentatively scheduled for September 2026 in Regina, Saskatchewan.

This first-of-its-kind event is being organized in response to the growing need for a dedicated Canadian conference focused on traffic enforcement and road safety. With limited domestic options and rising costs associated with attending U.S.-based events, this conference aims to bring together frontline officers, supervisors, and traffic safety professionals from across Canada to share knowledge, experiences, and innovative practices.

The planning committee is currently seeking presenters to help shape a strong and relevant conference program. If you are interested in presenting, please provide the following details:

• Presentation topic

• Estimated duration

• Any associated costs (e.g., travel, accommodation in Regina)

• Technical or logistical needs

Those with relevant expertise or a passion for traffic safety are encouraged to participate. Please also consider forwarding this call to colleagues or contacts who may be interested in contributing.

With your support, this conference can become a cornerstone event for traffic enforcement in Canada, fostering professional growth and stronger collaboration nationwide.
