Description:

The Emerging Technology Advisory Group will partner with ISACA Global to identify emerging technologies and their application in industry, as well as to support activities required to create the necessary content to address the impact of emerging technology on ISACA, the professions it serves, and ISACA’s constituents. The Emerging Technology Advisory Group will provide advice on when to develop products in support of ISACA’s constituents. New product ideas will be discussed, and products will be prioritized in alignment with ISACA global strategy.

Work will be done primarily by virtual meeting and email. One in-person meeting is anticipated during the term (schedule and location TBD), assuming pandemic related travel and meeting restrictions are lifted.
