Each chapter event has a dedicated page with all of the event details and registration information.

Links to event sites are listed on the home page and the Chapter Events calendar.

The chapter provides training events such as virtual conferences, seminars and workshops, exam review courses, and in-person networking socials. We also hold one to two in-person conferences a year.

Visit the Chapter Events page for more information on these events.

If you have a question about registering for an event, you can contact us using the Registration Questions contact form.

If you have a question about CPEs for an event, including questioning the credits awarded, you can contact us using the CPE Questions contact form.

If you have special accommodations, such as hearing or vision assistance, you can contact us using the Registration Questions contact form.

Advance registration and payment is required for all chapter events.

Each event page has a green button that links to the registration website. Events that are not open for registration will have a note on the event page and the button will not be present.

The registration and payment process is handled through Cvent. Payment is the last part of the process and is required for registration to be completed.

All events include a registration deadline on the event page right about the registration button.

For virtual events, the deadline is usually the day before the event, to ensure that registrants are provided the virtual conferencing links.

For in-person events, the deadline is usually a few days before the event to provide time to communicate attendance counts to the venue hosting the event.

No. For in-person events, there is no on-site registration. All attendees must register in advance.

Current GWDC members receive discounts to all chapter events that charge a fee.

To ensure you receive the discount during registration, members need to ensure that the following information is entered on the first page of the registration process:

• Email Address: Enter the email address on file with ISACA Global. Our contact listed is updated from the GWDC member roster provided by ISACA Global.
• Member Number: Enter your ISACA membership number, including any leading zeroes.

The most common registration issue regarding application of the membership discount is not entering the above information. For example, members may use their personal email address for ISACA communications but attempt to register with their work email. This will result in the discount not being applied.

To make this easier, emails sent out regarding specific event have a registration link tied to each recipient. When clicked, your email address and membership number are automatically entered in the registration form. (Note, if you forward these emails, your personalized registration link will also be forwarded.

We updated our contact list about every two weeks, so if you joined in-between updates, contact us and we’ll update your information.

If you are a GWDC member and have any issue with receiving the member discount to an event, you can contact us using the Registration Questions contact form.

No. Only current GWDC members receive discounts to GWDC events.

However, we occasionally enter into arrangements with other ISACA chapters and offer discounts to events in exchange for promotion of our events, typically seminars and review courses.

The most common reason for transaction failures is incorrect address or security code number. Therefore check the billing address to ensure it is correct or modify if needed. For security reasons, we also require the card’s security PIN located on the back of the card.

Another reason for card failure is entering a misspelled name for the card holder.

If you have a failed payment, contact us using the Registration Questions contact form. We can investigate the reason for the payment failure.
