The Strategic Management Society is an individual member-based organization with over 2,500 members. These members represent 1,100+ institutions from over 70+ counties across the world.
You are an integral part of the SMS community, and we hope that you will choose to renew your membership in 2027.
Renewal Process
The renewal period for 2027 membership is currently open. Members can login to your SMS account portal and click ‘renew’.

Following the prompts, you will select your membership type (Student, Regular, or Emeritus), term, and add Interest Groups & Communities. Two Interest Groups and both Communities are included with your membership, but you may select more Interest Groups for an additional $12/group.
To streamline the process for the future, we recommend setting up autorenewal to keep it active without any hassle.

Important Reminders
- As of 2024, conference registration no longer includes future-year membership. If you attend SMS Berlin, 2027 membership was not bundled with your registration. Follow the process above to renew for 2027 and keep your membership active!
- SMS offers the ability to purchase multi-year bundles, locking in today’s prices for 2- or 3-year terms. Check your university’s billing policy to see if a multi-year membership bundle is an option for you.
- Still need 2026 membership? 2026 membership is now only available in a bundle with 2027 membership at a prorated rate. Click “Join” in your SMS Account Portal to see the current cost for your membership type.
- SMS membership purchases are non-refundable. Please check all terms, benefits, policies, and reimbursement eligibility for your institution prior to making your membership purchase. If you made an error when completing your membership purchase, please contact the SMS Office immediately, or within five business days of purchase.
Visit the Membership FAQ page for more information, or reach out to the SMS Executive Office with any questions or if you need assistance with renewing. Login to the SMS account portal to begin the process. We look forward to a full year of programming next year!
