"Being a first time attendee to the conference, I was very impressed by the presentation and the overall experience.  I am amazed by the closeness of all of the participants.  One line that stuck out was that the conference is more like a family reunion than a trade show which seemed true.  Everyone I spoke with was extremely friendly and inviting and would answer any questions with no hesitation.  The creativity of the board that put the show together is outstanding, specifically the Measurement Zone and the Education Zone.  I certainly look forward to attending a future conference!"

"My experience with the CMSC has been in the attendee, presenter and volunteer capacities.  The CMSC is the premier organization for industrial metrology.  The depth and breadth of knowledge is outstanding.  Every year I come away with something new I learned and many times I learn things I can directly apply to my day-to-day job.  From the exhibit hall, to the Measurement and Education Zones to the presentations there is something for everyone.

I haven’t seen an organization where competitors come together to share information and work together to achieve common goals like the CMS.  Last year I heard an OEM thank his competitors for the competition that spurred the development of new technology.  The CMSC feels like a group of friends; competition is healthy and the environment is very inclusive.  I am very glad to be a part of it.

I am a member of the Precision Path Consortium.  We are a group of users and manufacturers of metrology equipment that is developing a technology roadmap of meteorology needs for the next 10 years.  It is refreshing to work with a diverse group of people that came together as a team very quickly and began working efficiently and with focus.  It is exciting to be part of casting vision for our industry’s future and I look forward to each meeting.

The CMSC has been a very rewarding part of my career in the field of metrology.  I feel that my involvement with this organization has given me an edge that I couldn’t get without being a CMSC member."
