Welcome to the 2021 MSC Training Symposium. The symposium has promoted education and professional excellence in the measurement sciences for 50 years. The 2021 MSC theme is: Celebrating 50 Years of Measurement Education. The symposium will offer many exceptional measurement related courses and technical sessions which will be instructed by industry experts. NIST Seminars, ASQ Training, Tutorial Work-shops and Technical Sessions will broaden one’s knowledge in a wide range of disci-plines. Our dynamic Keynote speakers will inform us of the latest industry trends along with past achievements.

The 2021 symposium technical program features advanced courses for those who have been in the measurement industry for years seeking to fine tune their abilities. Additionally, various basic courses are also offered to provide foundational measurement training in a variety of disciplines. As always, there will be discussions on advances and the never-ending changes occurring within the measurement industry as well as the opportunity to collaborate and expand one’s professional network.

Our Scholarship and Technical Academy programs reach out to prospective students to consider careers in the measurement community both commercially and in the government. We welcome and invite our participants and sponsors to consider supporting these stellar student programs which embody our future.

We invite you to visit the MSC Exhibit Hall during the scheduled viewing times to engage in the advanced products and services from innovative companies serving the measurement community.

The 50th Anniversary symposium will be held at the World-Renowned Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. I look forward to meeting you at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California November 15-18, 2021.
