The event, which will take place Feb. 28–March 1, 2013, at the Bethesda North Marriott in Bethesda, Maryland, includes an exhibition featuring software providers as well as other associated companies. A banquet dinner celebrating API’s 25th anniversary is also planned.

All are invited to attend this event, which should be particularly useful for quality and operations managers and anyone in charge of design or inspection in any industry where precision and repeatability is absolutely necessary.

Experts from several industries, including aerospace, automotive, and power generation, will discuss how technology advancements have changed how they build things, and where they see the trends headed in the coming decades. During the conference workshops several measurement procedures are discussed in detail, including the innovative ways some API customers use laser trackers and other instruments.
