Perennial events such as Ask the Experts and the CMS Metrology Quiz show are back by popular demand.

The CMS Certification Committee will provide an update on their progress this year during the conference. A delegate from the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) will touch on this year's highlights, progress, and its mission to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness. A representative from the PrecisionPath Consortium will provide an update on its Technology Roadmap for Large Scale Manufacturing and hold a meeting of its membership body.

The CMSC Exhibitor Hall will host exhibitors and measurement experts featuring portable measurement systems (PCMMs), software, accessories, peripherals, and service providers catering to the needs of the industrial measurement marketplace. Also throughout the week, metrologists seeking professional credentials will be taking CMS Level-One and Level-Two Certification examinations.
