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.
This year’s MZ sponsor is Hexagon MI. Hexagon’s talented Application Engineers will guide you through a series of stations that will grow you knowledge of systemic errors when collecting data with laser trackers, multi-station transformations using gravity and mirror cube measurements using laser trackers. There will be a mirror and cube measurement challenge where you can use what you’ve learned in the MZ to compete with the other CMSC attendees for accuracy and time.
Education Zone
The Education Zone plays host to a variety of activities to educate measurement professionals about the state-of-the-art in metrology.
Attendees can interact with experts from across the globe on topics ranging from measurement uncertainty to automation.
Metrology Jeopardy
The main attraction of the Education Zone is the ever-popular Metrology Jeopardy Quiz Show 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 2024 CMSC Champions. All attendees are invited to engage in this fun and interactive platform to test their metrology chops.
We will be hosting 3 Sessions of Metrology Jeopardy on Tuesday and Wednesday with the Fianl Metrology Jeopardy event being held late Wednesday afternoon. This Final Jeopardy round will be comprised of the winners from the first three sessions. All participants will get a ticket toward the prizes to be given out at the Thursday afternoon conference feedback session. Winners of each round will get additional tickets toward the grand prize.
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.
