Registration is offered at a discounted price for members of the society. There are also several conference associated awards available for members – applications can be made during abstract submission. SMBE membership is for 3 years and costs $10 for students and $30 for others. Membership can be applied for via https://www.smbe.org/smbe/MEMBERSHIP.aspx. Please contact us via email (smbe.contact@gmail.com) if you would like to become a member but feel that this membership fee is prohibitive for you.
