Volunteers typically serve as session monitors, registration assistants, or wayfinders and are representatives of ISACA, working closely with ISACA staff and other volunteers, conference attendees, and speakers. Volunteers receive a discount on registration in exchange for at least one shift. Those who do not sign into their shift will be charged the regular conference rate.
