Newport Beach, CA – October 25, 2005 – Measurement Science Conference (MSC) Chairman John Fishell announced today the schedule for the 36th Annual Conference, being held at the Disneyland Hotel, February 27-March 3, 2006.
“I am pleased to announce the 2006 MSC schedule and conference theme of The Science, Technology, and Control of Measurement. This stands to be our best and most informative conference to date,” said Fishell. “We’re expecting more attendees this year and have planned an exciting conference for them.”
One of the key features of the MSC Conference is the excellent quality of training available to attendees. “We are glad to announce that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will once again be joining the Conference and leading two days of seminars,” said NIST Seminars/Tutorials Chairman Bob Fritzsche. “As one of the largest off-campus conferences NIST participates in, this is an outstanding opportunity for hands-on training with the global leader in measurement standards,” continued Fritzsche.
The Conference will also feature three special sessions dedicated to Recommended Practice (RP) and standard revisions that were discussed at the National Conference of Standards Laboratories International (NCSLi) Conference last August. Programs Chairman Mark Kaufman said, “The RPs being discussed for revision and feedback are RPs 1, and 12, and ANSI/NCSLi standard Z540. These sessions will be an excellent opportunity for participants to get the latest status and to provide their input on the recommended revisions.”
Already known for its valuable tutorials for technicians, the Conference is expecting this year’s anticipated increase in attendee registration to particularly benefit exhibitors. “Our technical program is especially strong this year, and based on the feedback we’ve received so far, we expect increased registration of attendees. This really benefits our exhibitors who will have the opportunity to market to even more people than before, not only the people who use their products, but those who buy their products,” said Fishell.
A number of leading companies and organizations in the test and measurement field have already seen this opportunity and will be at the Conference. “We have a strong line-up of exhibitors at the 2006 Conference, with major companies like Fluke, Agilent, Northrop Grumman, and the U.S. Navy,” said Exhibits Chairwoman Kara Harmon. “In addition to these established exhibitors, we strongly encourage first-time exhibitors to participate by taking advantage of our special discount offers, providing an opportunity to gain recognition at the Measurement Science Conference.”
”Last year, we celebrated our 35th anniversary conference and are looking forward to the next 35. We’ve made some exciting changes for the 2006 Conference to accommodate growth, and we’re looking forward to making additional enhancements in the coming months to make this the best conference ever,” said Fishell.
