Payment is required at the time of Registration.

The North American Ellipsometry Association (NAEA) uses Zeffy for Payment processing. Zeffy ensures that 100% of your Registration Fees go to NAEA to directly support the organization of AWE-1. During check-out, Zeffy asks for an optional surcharge. Please select “other” from the drop-down menu and enter $0 if you do not wish to make this optional donation to Zeffy.
