NCAM Attends Annual SAMPE Conference and Exhibition in Baltimore

BALTIMORE, MD -- During the first week of June, NCAM attended the 2007 Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE®) Conference and Exhibition in Baltimore. The exhibit was titled "Creating New Opportunities for the World Economy."

Dr. Paul Herrington

SAMPE is an international professional member society that provides information on new materials and processing technology either via technical forums, journal publications or books in which professionals in this field can exchange ideas and air their views. SAMPE provides a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, and academicians.

NCAM was represented by Dr. Paul Schilling, Chairman of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Orleans.

After more than 60 years on the U.S. West Coast, the annual Symposium and Exhibition of the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) was relocated to the eastern seaboard in what the organization called a strategic move. SAMPE 2007 ran June 3-5 at the Baltimore Convention Center, and SAMPE executive director Gregg Balko said that the strategy was a success: The fresh venue attracted 254 exhibitors, 70 of which were new to the show among the event’s 3,850 visitors.
