The Machinery Failure Prevention Technology (MFPT) Society. is an interdisciplinary technical organization strongly oriented toward practical applications. The membership includes professional scientists, engineers, failure analysts, maintenance specialists and others who represent a wide variety of disciplines from government agencies, universities, research institutes and industry. The MFPT Society policy is to cooperate whenever possible with appropriate technical committees from government, professional organizations, technical societies, industrial associations and consortia - both nationally and internationally.

Following on from last year’s theme, the MFPT 2010 Conference theme was again chosen to give authors and presenters the opportunity to highlight as many examples as possible where technologies have transitioned from the research and development arena through to real and successful products that have been implemented on systems in service and used to good effect.

In customary fashion, the Conference program will comprise an Opening Plenary Session designed to highlight the perspectives of senior individuals in our community. Three or four parallel technical tracks will then follow for the next two and one half days. Conference details will be posted on the MFPT website over the coming months, including the Conference program (the first issue of which will be posted in December 2009) and will be periodically updated to include the latest details.
