$99 Member Benefits

New member benefit provides free attendance to one of three leading industry events

SAE members now have the opportunity to attend any one of SAE's three main industry events for free. Implemented by the SAE Engineering Meetings Board and approved by the SAE Board of Directors at their July 2006 meeting, this benefit allows members to choose from among the World Congress, the Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress & Exhibition, and the AeroTech Congress & Exhibition (alternating with the biennial General Aviation Technology Congress & Exhibition).  In order to take advantage of this new benefit, each member will be required to pre-register online for his or her desired event at a cost of $99 on or before the deadline. Before completing the pre-registration process, members will have an opportunity to apply their $99 discount, which will then yield them a gratis conference registration. Members who do not register by the pre-registration deadline will be able to apply their $99 discount to the $199 on-site registration fee; however, this will result in members having to pay a $100 registration fee.

The $99 member benefit will be tracked through the SAE Web site, will be valid only once during each calendar year and will not be refundable or transferable to the purchase of other products or services. Both SAE members and affiliate members will be eligible for this new member benefit, which will save members a minimum of $199 when compared to the non-member fee.

Free attendance at SAE congresses and conferences will still apply to organizers, authors, session chairs, planning committee members, exhibitors, and executive committee members.

Launching with the SAE 2006 World Congress, member registration fees will be implemented for all SAE conferences as approved by the SAE Engineering Meetings Board and the SAE Board of Directors.
