There isn't a direct event for this, but you could use the customer_save_commit_after event. This event also guarantees you that the customer is save in the shop's database. The problem with this event is that is triggered twice. Bellow is an hack that allows you to use this event - the observer function is listed:

public function customer_save_commit_after($p_oObserver) {

    $l_oCustomer = $p_oObserver->getCustomer();

    if ($l_oCustomer->isObjectNew() && !$l_oCustomer->getMyCustomKeyForIsAlreadyProcessed()) {
        $l_oCustomer->setMyCustomKeyForIsAlreadyProcessed(true);
        // new customer
    }
    else {
        // existing customer
    }

    return false;

}

Hope this helps someone!
