Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements
1-6 July 2012

Gaylord National Resort, Washington DC

Welcome to the official conference website for CPEM 2012. The 2012 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements is hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, in cooperation with NCSL International and Centro Nacional de Metrología (CENAM). The venue for the conference is the Gaylord National Resort, which is a beautiful new hotel located at National Harbor on the Potomac River just minutes outside of Washington D.C.

Conference Scope

The Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements, more popularly referred to as CPEM, is devoted to topics related to electromagnetic measurements at the highest accuracy levels. These cover the frequency spectrum from dc through the optical region. A major focus of this conference is quantum devices that relate electrical standards to fundamental constants and the international system of units.

CPEM attracts a highly specialized international participation. The principal types of organizations that participate at CPEM are the national standards laboratories; industrial organizations that manufacture the highest accuracy electrical standards and measurement instruments; industrial and government standards laboratories that interact extensively with national laboratories; and universities that conduct research on precision measurements, standards and related fundamental constants. Attendance at CPEM is considered a must for the researchers and metrologists who are responsible for electrical standards.
