Invitation to the 2026 Mid-South Biomechanics Conference — April 9–10, University of Memphis

[Max Paquette]

We are excited to invite you to the 9^th annual Mid-South Biomechanics Conference, taking place April 9^th and 10^th, 2026 at the University of Memphis in Memphis, TN.

This year we have moved the conference to April to take advantage of nicer weather in Memphis and to avoid conflicts with other regional meetings.

This FREE, two-day event is a unique, student-centered, forum for sharing biomechanics research and ideas. We especially encourage submissions from undergraduate and graduate students and abstracts at all stages of work — pilot projects, ongoing studies, or completed research — are welcome. In fact, the conference rarely declines abstracts, making it an ideal venue to gain feedback and practice presentation skills!

Abstract submission deadline: March 6^th, 2026

Conference highlights:

• Free registration
• Student-centered environment with several social events and networking opportunities
• Oral and poster presentations of pilot, ongoing, and completed research
• Great way to meet peers and professionals in biomechanics, engineering, sports, and clinical fields
• Student awards (funding permitting)

We’d love for you and your students to join us — whether to present, attend, or simply network.

We look forward to seeing you in Memphis in April!
