DHM 2022 is a hybrid event being hosted by the University of Iowa Technology Institute and arranged in collaboration with the International Ergonomics Association's Technical Committee on Digital Human Modeling and Simulation.

DHM 2022 will focus on academic advancements and will be held in conjunction with the third annual Iowa Virtual Human Summit (IVHS), which will focus on industry application. The three-day event will be held Aug. 29-31, 2022, on the University of Iowa campus, Iowa City, USA. Registration is now open. In-person attendance is encouraged. A virtual option is available for those who cannot attend in person.

The in-person option includes continental breakfast and lunch buffets all three days, as well as dinner on the first two days. Additional social activities are also being planned based on the number of in-person attendees.
