IPEG is an inclusive international organization that fosters new ideas, innovation, and education in pediatric minimally invasive surgery.  Benefits of IPEG membership include:

• significant discounts on Annual Meeting registration fees. The 2021 Meeting Registration is now open;
• access to the Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques and Videoscopy;
  
• Access Pass, a new benefit that offers discounted access to IPEG webinars
• networking with peers;
• opportunities to share clinical research.

As IPEG continues to expand and develop internationally it understands that there is a need to adjust to world economics.  Therefore, a new membership tier structure has been recently implemented to make membership more accessible to all colleagues from across the globe.  For practicing surgeons, dues are now based upon country, with three Tiers based primarily upon economic development within the region.

3-Year Membership Discount

If you are joining IPEG for the first time, you are eligible for a special discount of 25% by paying for a three-year membership. The application form will allow you to choose one-year membership or three- year membership.

If you are an existing IPEG member, or were previously a member of IPEG, this discount does not apply, and you should not submit a new member application.

Any payments submitted by existing or previous members by completing a new member application will have the payment applied towards the full membership dues amount.
