American Association for Crystal Growth
Membership in the AACG is open to everyone with a professional interest in crystals, thin films, crystal growth, epitaxy, and characterization.
Our membership includes engineers, scientists, educators, technologists, marketing representatives, and students. All share a strong interest in one or more facets in the field of crystal growth and epitaxy.
Annual membership benefits include discounted conference registration, annual newsletters, important career and conference announcements, and connection to the global crystal growth community.

AACG promotes the field of crystal growth with focus on networking, exchange of information, research and education. We offer bi-annual conferences rotating between a broader American Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy (AACGE) and a more narrowly focused ACCGE-West conference at Fallen Leaf Lake, California, USA.
