CMS Foundation
The CMS announces the establishment of the Coordinate Metrology Society Foundation (CMSF)—a newly formed charitable arm of CMS.
Special Opportunity: Inspire Future Innovators in Metrology in the Exhibit Hall at the 2025 CMSC!
In collaboration with CMSF (Coordinate Metrology Society Foundation), we are proud to host a STEM-focused field trip for youth from the Reno Boys & Girls Club during CMSC 2025. These young students (ages 10–15) are part of the Club's summer STEM program and will visit the Exhibit Hall on Wednesday, July 23, from 10:45 AM to 12:30 PM, followed by lunch.
This initiative aims to introduce students to 3D metrology, foster curiosity in STEM careers, and highlight the cutting-edge technology our exhibitors provide.
If you’d like to participate by showcasing your technology and speaking briefly to small groups of students, we’d love to include your company. Attendees will be guided through the hall in small groups by CMS and Boys & Girls Club staff, stopping at selected booths to engage with our exhibitors. The tour will be provided by Joe Sabol, Scott Sandwith, Bobby Martinez, Paul Nicholas, Rick Cole, Bonnie Dunbar, and Jeff Dewar.

Exhibitor Participation Details:
- Your presence at the booth is OPTIONAL — The CMS will ensure the safety and security of your metrology equipment during this special event by roping off unmanned areas.
Special Note & Consideration – Again, this opportunity is optional. As a courtesy reminder, this will be occurring during the following presentations, which we do not want to deter from: 10:45 am “CMM Calibration Navigation”, by Rich Dittman | 11:15 am “Digital Calibration Certificates & QIF”, by Jacob Brookes | “Numerical Balancing: Revolutionizing Metrology with Numerical Certainty & Accurate Autonomous Data Evaluation”, by Ingobert Schmadel.
SWAG – The CMSC requests that “Customer Swag” be placed under the tables provided. We kindly ask that BOYS & GIRLS Club SWAG be on your table, if your table is unmanned. We will post a friendly CMS + Exhibitor Sign welcoming students to “Please take one & we appreciate you coming by” sign.
- Marketing Opportunity – Quality Digest media will be present to capture photos and video for future promotional content, offering added visibility for participating companies.
We expect between 12 to 25 students, with the potential for more. Once we receive your confirmation, we will follow up with detailed logistics.
Thank you again for your dedication to CMS and for helping us inspire the next generation of precision measurement professionals. We look forward to seeing you in Reno!
