The 2026 Fall Technical Meeting (FTM) brings together engineers, technical leaders, and professionals from across the power transmission industry for three days of learning, collaboration and networking.
Co-hosted with the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), this year’s event introduces an expanded dual-track format designed to support both deep technical research and forward-looking industry innovation.
Track 1: Peer-reviewed technical papers on new technologies, indexed in Scopus
Track 2: Presentation-only sessions focused on emerging technologies, innovative solutions and real-world applications.
Whether you are submitting a paper, contributing as a peer reviewer, or attending sessions, the FTM provides a platform to exchange knowledge, explore new ideas, and strengthen connections across the power transmission community.
