(CMSC: Reno, Nevada) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), the preeminent membership association for measurement professionals, recently announced it will present the 26th Annual Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) July 12–16 at the world-class Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. This five-day event is the only North American conference that caters solely to professionals using portable 3-D coordinate measurement technology on manufacturing factory floors and in science laboratories. Attendees include quality professionals (both expert and novice), metrologists, manufacturing executives, scientists, students, teachers, and more.

Attendee registration is now open and available online. Interested attendees or exhibitors will find detailed information about the conference at www.cmsc.org.

The CMSC is well known for its expert white paper presentations covering diverse metrology topics. The conference also features well-attended workshops, standards seminars, user group meetings, and networking events held in a highly professional venue where ideas, concepts, and theory flow freely amongst participants. Once again, the 2010 CMSC’s exhibitor hall will overflow with companies showcasing portable measurement systems (PCMMs), software, accessories, peripherals, and inspection and measurement services catering to the needs of the industrial measurement marketplace. The PCMM technology exhibited at the conference includes industrial photogrammetry solutions, laser trackers, laser radars, GPS systems, laser scanners, laser projection systems, articulating arms, theodolites, and more.

Call for papers continues until April 16
