Non-Members Welcome
STLE’s core annual meeting audience is our membership of tribology researchers and lubrication professionals from around the globe. 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.

When you register as a non-member for just $1,500, you’ll not only secure your spot for the conference—you’ll also bundle in a full year of STLE membership with a savings of $80. That means your investment continues to pay off long after the training ends.

This special bundled offer makes it easy to build your technical knowledge, expand your network, and stay connected to the latest industry innovations—all with a single registration.
