Membership

SIAM members save up to $215 on full registration for the SIAM Conference on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures! Join your peers in supporting the premier professional society for applied mathematicians and computational scientists. SIAM members receive subscriptions to SIAM Review, SIAM Unwrapped and SIAM News and enjoy substantial discounts on SIAM books, journal subscriptions, and conference registrations.

Non-members can bundle their conference registration with a 12-month SIAM membership (beginning January 1, 2026, and ending December 31, 2026) at no additional cost. During registration, select the Full Conference Registration Rate with membership included, and you will have a SIAM membership processed as part of your registration. Learn more about membership benefits.

If you are a SIAM member, it only costs $15 to join the SIAM Activity Group on NWCS. As a SIAG/NWCS member, you are eligible for an additional $15 discount on this conference. As the total price of membership plus conference registration is the same, you might want to consider joining the activity group.
