ASNT held its 2005 Fall Conference and Quality Testing Show in its hometown of Columbus, Ohio, 17-21 October. The meeting matched an impressive professional programme with innovative trade show exhibitions and busy committee meetings, all coming together at the Hyatt Regency and Greater Columbus Convention Center. The successful event brought together over 1400 NDT professionals from around the world. In addition to two panel discussions, the professional programme saw 124 papers presented in 36 sessions devoted to seemingly every type of NDT technology and application imaginable. The Qualify Testing Show was the place to see the latest in NDT products and technology, with 103 exhibitors in 145 booths demonstrating how they continue to advance the state of the art. A short course, 'Time-of-Flight Diffraction - Practical Guide to Data Collection and Data Analysis,' taught by Tim Armitt, began the conference on Monday morning. The various ASNT councils and committees also began their meetings on Monday and continued them throughout the week.
