Membership Year
When you attend an IACR conference or symposium in year X, you become a member of the IACR for year X+1, unless you opt out at registration time. You may also become a member of the IACR for year X by directly signing up for IACR Membership between October 1, year X-1 and September 30, year X.
Am I already a member?
If you attended an IACR conference or symposium in the past, then you would have become a member the for calendar year following the event (unless you opted out at registration time). You can access your account via the login page to check your membership status or contact the Membership Secretary for assistance.
If you attended only an affiliated workshop or tutorial at an IACR conference, then you would not have paid the IACR fee and would not have become a member.
