12th International Conference

Advancements and Futuristic Trends in Mechanical and Materials Engineering

AFTMME 2026 | 19-20 November, 2026 | Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana

The inaugural AFTMME conference was started in 2010 with the goal of bringing together mechanical and materials engineers under a common umbrella to bring academicians, researchers, practising engineers, industrialists and start-up professionals together for sharing their ideas and experiences and disseminating knowledge.

Mechanical and Materials Engineering have long had a symbiotic relationship in this space. The conference aims to share knowledge and findings of researchers, academicians and people from industries about materials and manufacturing for sustainable growth.

Participants are welcome to present their ideas and current findings on materials and manufacturing for a greener future. The conference will also witness prominent people of their respected fields as keynote speakers.
