CALL For PAPERS:    WRSGC meets twice a year for two days to hear technical papers, participate in workshops and manufacturer's seminars (sponsors of the committee), participate on panels and tour a test facility in the area. 

Technical papers and presentations are a key part of the WRSGC Conferences.   Presentations topics cover a wide range of topics, including:
      - research in the advancement of strain gage measuring
      - new product development
      - applications and techniques of measurement
      - refreshers on core aspects of testing and measurement

We currently have enough papers for the August 2008 conference, but are still looking for more papers for the February 2009 conference.  We welcome contributions from any person, whether previously involved in the WRSGC or not.

NEXT CONFERENCE:

AUGUST 18-20, 2008

CALL FOR PAPERS :
 WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A FEW MORE PAPERS TO BE PRESENTED AT OUR FEBRUARY 2009 CONFERENCE


The paper and presentation criteria and process are somewhat flexible, as many companies have legal, export, or proprietary limitations on what information can be submitted.   The general process includes:
 

  • Contact the Programming Chairman at Programs@WRSGC.org  to discuss your topic and conference schedule.   We may be looking for presentations for the next conference, or would be happy to schedule you for an upcoming conference.

  • Prepare a 30 minute presentation - preferably on PowerPoint or other computer media, or notify the Programming chair of your presentation equipment needs.  Demonstration equipment is welcome.  Typically 45 minutes is allotted for each presentation:  30 minutes for presenting, 15 minutes for questions and answers following your presentation.

    • Submit a paper or documentation to support your presentation.  This will be included in the WRSGC Proceedings DVD which is distributed as a technical reference to attendees of the conferences.   In cases where legal, export, or proprietary limitations apply, WRSGC can accept whatever content is allowed by your company. 

    NEXT CONFERENCE:
    August 18-20,  2008:   Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.  Details are posted on the Conferences Page.

    FUTURE CONFERENCES:
    Traditionally, there is a conference every February and August, at varying locations.
