Event Overview

ISACA Pittsburgh Chapter invites you to attend the Information Security Awareness Day Conference (8 CPEs for $40 for members; $50 for nonmembers) at Rivers Casino!

The Conference will be held on Monday, December 9, 2019.

The ISACA Pittsburgh Information Security Awareness Day Conference is the premier educational event for Information Systems Audit and Information Security professionals in the Western Pennsylvania area. With a chapter membership of approximately 600, the ISACA Pittsburgh Chapter is represented by employees of over 150 companies, academic institutions, and government entities throughout the region.

Thanks in part to corporate and vendor sponsorships, this conference is the top educational value for IS Audit and Cybersecurity professionals in Pittsburgh. Each year the event has grown significantly from the prior year. Over 400 IS Audit and Security professionals from all lines of business in the Tri-State area registered for last year’s event, as well as representatives from other local professional security and audit associations and neighboring ISACA chapters. With the completely renovated and increased maximum capacity of the venue at Rivers Casino, along with our keynote speaker of Brian Krebs, we expect over 600 attendees this year!

In addition to two tracks of educational sessions, the Information Security Awareness Day Conference will also feature exhibitions from the leading companies in the market. Attendees will be issued passports that are required to be filled in or initialed by each vendor in order to be eligible for raffle prizes that will be provided by the Chapter. Attendees must be present to win. 

ISACA Pittsburgh was nominated for and won, the 2018 ISACA Innovative Chapter Program Award in the Large Chapter category (301-800 members) for the 2017 InfoSec Conference.  This award is presented to only four ISACA chapters globally each year, one from each chapter-size category, to recognize outstanding programs that demonstrate an innovative approach to member engagement, continuing education, or community outreach.
