The European Portable Metrology Conference (EPMC) 2026) is one of Europe’s leading specialist conferences dedicated to portable metrology, dimensional measurement, industrial inspection and 3D scanning technologies. Scheduled for 23-24 September 2026 at The International Centre, Telford, the event brings together equipment manufacturers, quality engineers, researchers, production leaders and technology innovators from across the United Kingdom and Europe. Portable metrology has become a critical capability for modern manufacturing. Industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, rail, electronics and advanced engineering increasingly rely on high-accuracy portable measurement systems to reduce defects, shorten inspection cycles and improve process control. EPMC 2026 is designed to address these challenges through a combination of technical presentations, case studies, live demonstrations and professional networking opportunities. The conference provides a practical environment where attendees can compare technologies, discuss implementation strategies and learn directly from organizations that are using portable metrology in real production environments. Why EPMC 2026 Matters Manufacturing is undergoing rapid digital transformation. Smart factories, Industry 4.0 initiatives and data-driven quality management all depend on accurate measurement. EPMC focuses specifically on the technologies that enable measurement beyond the traditional laboratory environment. Attendees will gain insights into: Portable coordinate measuring systems Laser trackers Structured-light and laser scanning Photogrammetry Automated inspection workflows Real-time dimensional verification Digital twin integration Measurement data management These technologies help manufacturers detect deviations earlier, reduce scrap, improve traceability and maintain compliance with increasingly stringent quality standards. Conference Program EPMC 2026 is expected to feature a two-day technical program combining keynote sessions, expert presentations and application-focused discussions. Keynote Presentations Industry leaders and technology experts will present the latest developments in: Large-volume measurement High-accuracy alignment Portable CMM innovation AI-assisted inspection Measurement automation Digital manufacturing integration These sessions are intended to provide strategic insight into where portable metrology is heading over the next decade. Technical Sessions The technical program will focus on real-world implementation and measurable business outcomes. Topics are expected to include: Aerospace assembly verification Automotive body measurement Turbine and energy-sector inspection Reverse engineering workflows GD&T validation Calibration and uncertainty management Inline and near-line inspection Metrology software interoperability Presentations will typically include case studies, accuracy data, workflow comparisons and lessons learned from industrial deployments. Live Technology Demonstrations One of the strongest features of EPMC is the opportunity to see equipment operating in person. Expected demonstration areas include: Laser tracking systems Handheld 3D scanners Portable articulated arms Optical measurement systems Alignment and leveling equipment Surface analysis tools Inspection software platforms Live demonstrations allow attendees to evaluate ease of use, measurement speed, setup requirements and integration capabilities before making investment decisions. Exhibition Area Alongside the conference sessions, EPMC includes a dedicated exhibition showcasing the latest metrology hardware and software solutions. Exhibitors are expected to represent: Measurement equipment manufacturers Calibration providers Industrial software companies Automation and robotics specialists Quality assurance solution providers Research institutions and technical partners The exhibition enables direct conversations with suppliers, product specialists and application engineers.

The Stanford Alumni Day of Service is a global tradition that brings the "Cardinal" spirit of service to local communities worldwide. In May 2026, the Stanford Club of Great Britain and the broader alumni network in London will gather at the historic Coram’s Fields for a dedicated day of social impact. This event is part of the 15th anniversary of Stanford’s Alumni Days of Service, a two-week window where graduates from all decades and disciplines come together to give back. Coram’s Fields is a unique seven-acre playground and park in central London that remains a vital resource for local children and families. As a volunteer participant, you will engage in various high-impact tasks designed to improve the facility's sustainability and accessibility. Activities typically include urban gardening and landscaping to enhance biodiversity, light renovation of community rooms, and organizing educational resources for the youth programs hosted on-site. Beyond the manual labor, the event serves as a powerful networking platform. You will work alongside fellow alumni who are leaders in London’s tech, finance, and arts sectors, fostering deep connections through shared purpose. Whether you graduated last year or fifty years ago, this is an opportunity to reconnect with the university's mission: to contribute to society. The day concludes with a community picnic, allowing participants to share their experiences and discuss future alumni initiatives in the United Kingdom. This is a family-friendly event, and we encourage partners and children of alumni to join in, teaching the next generation the value of civic engagement.
