AGMA’s Fall Technical Meeting is your gateway to gear and power transmission innovation.
MPT Expo attendees can also register to experience AGMA’s annual Fall Technical Meeting (FTM), an event that brings together top researchers from around the world to share their latest peer-reviewed gear industry research. Network with industry experts, academics, and engineers, ask your burning questions, and gain valuable insights into the future of the motion and power industry.
Important 2025 Update - New FTM Dates
We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Fall Technical Meeting will be held from Wednesday, October 22 through Friday, October 24.
To better accommodate your schedule and maximize the value of your time, we have adjusted the dates of this meeting, formerly held on Monday-Wednesday of the MPT Expo. Changing to a Wednesday-Friday schedule allows for:
• Less overlap with the main expo, providing more opportunity for attendees to attend both events.
• More networking opportunities with colleagues and industry peers on the show floor.
• A more streamlined and efficient event for both attendees and exhibitors.
Please mark your calendars for the new dates and sign up for show alerts below.
2025 Fall Technical Meeting session details coming soon!
