What are digital membership cards?

Your ISMHS member verification now happens from your phone instead of a physical membershipcard. Using digital membership cards is more environmentally friendly as it cuts down on paper and plastic waste, and it means you never have to worry about forgetting your membership card at home. The digital membership also allows you to speed up check-in at the ticket counter. After joining or renewing your ISMHS membership, you will receive an email within 1 day with a link to download your digital card.
