The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) stands at the forefront of the effort to advocate for the advancement of this industry and shine light on its many accomplishments. For 30 years, the CMS, together with its annual signature event, the Coordinate Measurement Systems Conference (CMSC), has defined metrology for an influential group of academics, vendors, and test and measurement professionals.

The first CMSC took place in San Antonio, Texas, in the autumn of 1984.

The CMSC today is a showcase event for high-level users, academics, and providers of the hardware and software that have powered these advancements.
