Non-Members Welcome: Two Options for Attending
STLE’s core annual meeting audience is our membership of tribology researchers and lubrication professionals from around the globe. However, non-members are welcome at the conference and encouraged to attend. Participating in our conference is the best way to gain an overview of STLE’s many products and services and meet your peers in the tribology and lubrication engineering communities.

STLE offers full and one-day annual meeting registration options. Because non-members pay a higher meeting registration rate, the best way to attend is by joining the society. Cost of membership is less than the difference between the member and non-member annual meeting registration rates. So, you actually save money by joining STLE and coming to the meeting as a member than you would if you came as a non-member - plus you get all the other benefits of STLE membership!

However, if your company does not permit you to join a professional society, another option is to pay the non-member registration rate for the annual meeting. If you do, you’ll also receive a complimentary one-year STLE membership - a $180 value.
