Calling all BGA Members, sharing your research at the 2026 MPMA Fall Meeting offers a unique chance to showcase UK innovation on an international stage. This event gathers experts and pioneers from various fields, making it an ideal platform to present your work, connect with peers, and gain valuable feedback.

Please see more details of the event below.

Please note that the 2026 FTM will be held October 5-7, Monday through Wednesday.

MPMA

In May of 2025, the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA) merged to form the Motion + Power Manufacturers Alliance (MPMA). MPMA is now the organizer of the Fall Technical Meeting, and both gear and bearing submissions are encouraged at this event.

NEW FORMAT

For the first time in its history, the FTM will expand into a dual-track format. The first track will maintain the classic structure—featuring highly technical papers and presentations on new technologies, all peer-reviewed and indexed in Scopus. The second track will consist of presentation-only sessions focused on cutting-edge developments, innovative company solutions to market challenges, and emerging technologies poised to influence the future of the bearing and gear industries.

Abstract Dates:

• Submissions for full technical papers must be made by January 16, 2026.

• Submissions for the presentation-only option must be made by March 27, 2026.
