CORM 2004
Second Announcement, Program, & Call for Papers
A Joint Conference with the ISCC

Advances in Color and Appearance Metrology
Latest developments in the fields of Retroreflection, Haze, Gloss, Goniospectrophotometry, Color Imaging, and Fluorescence

CORM Annual Conference and Business Meeting

May 12-14, 2004
Green Auditorium
NIST, Gaithersburg,MD

Program |  Contacts |  Submissions |  Hotel |  Register

This year’s Annual Conference and Business Meeting of the Council for Optical Radiation Measurements will be held in the Green Auditorium on the campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The Hilton Washington DC North in Gaithersburg will serve as the host hotel for the conference.

The CORM Conference will start at NIST on May 12, and end at noon on May 14. CORM Technical committees will meet on the morning of May 12 at NIST. This Conference will follow the ISCC Conference beginning on May 10th. Following the conference, the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) will hold meetings of committee E-12 (Color and Appearance) from Monday, May 17 to Wednesday, May 19.

This group of meetings presents an excellent opportunity for all of those active in color and appearance to both advance their knowledge in the fields and to be involved in standards and measurement capability developments.

CORM and ISCC will hold a joint reception on Tuesday evening, May 11th. at the Hilton.

Important note: Due to security concerns at NIST, the registrations have an earlier cut-off date than usual. No ‘walk-in’ conferees will be allowed. All registrations MUST be received at least two weeks before the Conferences. All attendees will require photo id’s. Non-US citizens will require photo identification and proof of citizenship to attend the conference.

CORM Technical Committee Meetings

CORM Technical Committee Meetings will be held on Wednesday morning at NIST. Please contact your technical committee chairperson for information on location and time of the meeting. There is no charge to participants, but advance registration is required.
