The CybErg conferences are a series of "virtual" international ergonomics conferences first conceptualized by Prof Leon Straker and Prof Clare Pollock of Curtin University of Technology in Australia, and successfully held for the first time in 1996 and again in 1999, 2002, 2005 and now 2008. This International conference have received widespread acclaim in the International Ergonomics arena.

The CybErg conference series is based on the principle of internationalising ergonomics' knowledge and increasing the quality of ergonomics discussion by making conference attendance easier, quicker and far cheaper than face-to-face conferences. It is quite easy to see how an International conference based on the World Wide Web can drastically reduce travel-related costs. Such a virtual conference also enables discussions and knowledge to be immediately accessible all around the world at the click of a mouse.

Through five CybErg conferences , endorsed by the International Ergonomics Association (IEA), the conference already boasts an international standing in the scientific field, with particularly strong links to people and associations in Australia, North America, Europe, South America and South East Asia.
