Registration Categories
The Registration process is split into three tiers in order to better serve membership needs.  The 1st tier is the Early Bird Registration period.  It begins Wednesday, February 1 and will last through Friday, May 21.  This period provides an opportunity to register for the Symposium at the lowest possible cost.  Immediately following the Early Bird period is the 2nd tier or Advance Registration period.  It extends from Saturday May 22 through Friday, June 15, just prior to the start of Microwave Week.  The 3rd and final tier is the On-site Registration period that will remain the same as in past Symposia, starting on Saturday June 16, the first day of Microwave Week, and ending on Friday, June 22. Click here to review the registration rates.
