CMSC is an international group of close tolerance industrial measurement specialists and manufacturers and developers of alignment systems, targeting hardware, Portable Coordinate Measurement Machine's (PCMMs), electronic theodolites, laser projection systems, laser trackers, laser radar, photogrammetry / videogrammetry systems and metrology software. No other conference or seminar in the country focuses specifically on 3D coordinate metrology. When you combine virtually every 3D measurement system/software manufacturer with an specialized class of users you have an unparalleled exchange of information, ideas and equipment. The technical presentations and Thursday seminars provide an invaluable exchange of knowledge.

Attendees to the CMSC are not restricted to stay at the hotel facility where the conference is held.  In year's past, the conference has completely booked the hotel and overflow went to a hotel nearest to the conference proceedings. However each year as the surroundings change, it is much simpler to stay at the Hotel with the rest of the conference attendees where sponsors schedule events that run well into the late evening hours.  Most of these events are posted on the website program but some of the organizations sponsors do not make the publication dates.  We recommend you speak to an associate that has participated in the past or contact one of the CMSC Excutive Committee members with questions that may be more focused on your company requirements.

Come early, stay late or spend a weekend! You can take advantage of all the great activities in the New Orleans area during your CMSC stay.

New Orleans is named after Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Orléans, Regent of France, and is well known for its distinct French Creole architecture, as well as its cross cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz),and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The city is often referred to as the "most unique" in America.

The Roosevelt stands in the same place it has for more than 100 years, at the heart of all the history, cuisine, entertainment and culture that made New Orleans famous. Just past the hotel’s magnificent brass doors are the narrow streets and old-world charm of the French Quarter. Stroll along the shop-lined sidewalks of Royal Street. Immerse yourself in the constant buzz of activity at Jackson Square. Let your ears take you from one club to the next as you soak in a wealth of musical stylings at Preservation Hall or on Frenchmen Street.

With the St. Charles and Canal streetcar lines within blocks of The Roosevelt, the rest of New Orleans is just a few stops away. Walk amongst the centuries-old live oaks of City Park or marvel at the majestic homes of the historic Garden District. When you stay at The Roosevelt, all of New Orleans is yours to explore.
