IBS membership fees: increase after Cape Town

An update to IBS membership fees has been approved by the Board. This is the first adjustment to our membership fees in the Society's history, a modest and long-overdue step, and it will take effect after the 35th International Symposium on Ballistics in Cape Town this October. Even with the change, IBS membership remains outstanding value.

Until then, the current fees still apply. Up to and throughout the 35th ISB, you can still renew or take out a lifetime membership at today's rates. So now is an excellent moment to lock in the current pricing before the new schedule begins.

The updated schedule, effective after Cape Town:

Membership category	Current rate	New rate
Individual (18-month term)	USD 50	USD 60
Student (18-month term)	USD 15	USD 20
Lifetime (under 50)	USD 500	USD 600
Lifetime (50 and over)	USD 300	USD 360
Corporate — Silver	USD 250	USD 300
Corporate — Gold	USD 500	USD 600
Corporate — Platinum	USD 1000	USD 1200

Membership continues to give you access to the ISB proceedings archive from the 1st Symposium onward, a unique, cumulative record of ballistics research found nowhere else, including a number of free paper downloads each term. It also brings discounted symposium registration and the wider benefits of belonging to our international community.

If you have been considering upgrading to lifetime membership, you should do so before Cape Town. Please contact the membership chair at membership@ballistics.org to arrange the upgrade details.
