Being that this is Valentine’s Day, I can think of no better time and place to express my undying love—for the technical presentations that are offered each year at the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference.

CMSC 2013, which is being held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina July 22–26, 2013, will offer all of us case-study and white-paper lovers a unique opportunity to dive into today’s cutting-edge research and practical applications on the use of portable 3D metrology systems in industry and academia. The technical presentations at past shows featured laser trackers, laser scanners, photogrammetry solutions, CMMs, and many other hardware technologies, not to mention the software that supports them. The best of these presentations appear in our group’s publications, not only here in CMSC World, but in the biannual, printed Journal of the CMSC as well.
