REGISTRATION OPEN: GEARS 2025

The British Gear Association is excited to announce that registration is now open for the highly anticipated GEARS 2025 conference. This annual event serves as the UK Centre of Technical Excellence for gear design, manufacture, and application technologies. As the premier conference for the Gear Industry in the UK. GEARS is considered an essential event for manufacturers, distributors, and academics involved in the gears sector.

About the Sessions

GEARS 2025 will unfold over three days, each dedicated to a specific aspect of the power transmission sector. You can attend the entire event or select sessions that align with your interests. Each session will feature a 30-minute presentation. Participants will also have live Q&A opportunities following each presentation for a truly interactive experience.

We have once again attracted the most pre-eminent gearing experts to present papers at Gears as well as some of the best and brightest newcomers, including the winner of the BGA/IMECHE Student prize, who we have no doubt will be making an impact on the Gearing Industry in the future.
