Topic: "Learning from Failures", 

"Failures have been causing harm and economic loss ever since the industrial revolution. The creation of the Manchester Steam Users Association in 1854 was an early attempt to prevent boiler explosions by using lessons learned from them. Today there are branches of government and engineering associations, and the insurance industry, whose failure investigations can help prevent future ones. This presentation will discuss failure investigations in aviation, construction and consumer products, and their success and potential in preventing recurrent failures."
