Troy Marriott in Troy, Michigan (USA) on September 21st and 22nd.
The symposium will offer a forum to convene medical professionals
and automotive designers for discussions of relevant issues
surrounding head and neck injuries. The symposium will address
the anatomy and biomechanics of the head and neck and the latest
developments in auto design for head and neck injury prevention.
