The Coordinate Metrology Society has opportunities for you to participate whether you're onsite at the conference or afar. The conference is the host to endless metrology workshops, training classes, Jeopardy contests and laser tracker competitions; however, there are areas to which we rely on you, as our audience to participate in. Please share the below with peers, co-workers, employees, and students! Your questions will be addressed where appropriate at the conference! Whether you are exhibiting or attending, we have learning opportunities abound.
Measurement Zone
At the heart of the exhibition hall, the Measurement Zone has been the most popular addition to the CMS Conference. Each day, challenging programs are scheduled for operators with all levels of experience. Participants can use different types of equipment to perform 3D measurements operations using guided and non-guided techniques. Participants apply best practices as members of the Coordinate Metrology Society and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL – UK) study the correlation between operator measurement techniques and accuracy/precision.
Education Zone
The Education Zone plays host to a variety of activities to educate measurement professionals about the state-of-the-art in metrology. In this Zone area, attendees can access tablets that are setup with NPL’s E-Learning course catalog, which provide a multitude of online training classes for differing levels of expertise. Attendees can study a variety of metrology topics from measurement uncertainty to strategic measurement plans.
Metrology Jeopardy
The main attraction of the Education Zone is the ever-popular Metrology Quiz Show most recently re-named "Metrology Jeopardy" hosted by Bob Elliot. This test-your-knowledge game is based upon the CMS Level-One Certification program and its core body of knowledge. During the CMS Quiz Show, participants will first compete in heats, and each winning team will stand off in a grand finale game to claim the title of CMSC Champions. All attendees are invited to engage in this fun and interactive platform to test their metrology chops and win prizes!
Ask The Experts
This question and answer session allows attendees to ask compelling technical questions. The Expert Panel is comprised of experts in the fields of articulating arms, laser trackers, scanners, photogrammetry and GD&T. The CMS has now expanded into the world of stationary CMMs and added a CMM expert to the panel. We invite you to submit your most challenging metrology questions for our expert panel to answer during the week of the conference.
Spotlight On New Technology
“Spotlight on New Technology” is a new segment which will consist of several presentations focused on a new product or technology being released just prior to or at the conference. The presenters will give a brief overview and hold a Q&A session to address the uses or technology behind the showcased product or software.
Vendor Training Sessions
Training and education is a core mission of the Coordinate Metrology Society to promote good practices, technological innovation, certification, and professional recognition in measurement. The Coordinate Metrology Society Conference is the primary place for knowledge and understanding, practical applications and skills testing. The opportunity to learn fundamental measurement techniques, blueprint and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, and coordinate metrology techniques. At this year’s conference we are proud to present you with the opportunity to attend training sessions offered by several leading metrology vendors.
