2022 ISACA Conference Asia Programme Development Task Force

The ISACA Conference Asia 2022 Programme Development Task Force will support the successful program development, planning and execution of the regional event, 22-24 February 2022. Volunteers’ local perspectives, contacts, and networks can ensure that the program meets the needs of ISACA members and professionals across Asia interested in learning and networking and delivers an incredible experience. Selected task force members will be responsible for influencing the session topics and speaker selection and then providing input to ISACA Event Operations Staff (EOS) on venues, marketing opportunities, and unique local experiences. ISACA EOS has final decision-making authority. While onsite, task force volunteers are invited to work with ISACA event staff to facilitate a great experience for attendees, and then participate in a debrief to continually enhance the opportunities and deliverables for future Asia Conferences.

Anticipated outcomes:

• Support Programme Development:

• • Evaluate conference presentation abstracts based on a provided scorecard/metrics and collaborate with ISACA Global on development of program schedule.
  • ISACA Global will have final decision-making authority on which conference sessions are selected and placed in the program.
  • Each volunteer will be required to score all abstracts submitted.

• Support Conference Planning
  • Attend monthly meeting via Microsoft Teams to discuss the strategy in how we will execute a successful event. Including one post event debrief call.
  • Marketing - Task Force will recommend appropriate vehicle and communication techniques to increase attendance and awareness of the Conference. Ensure ISACA Global Marketing plan resonates with regional audiences. Utilize Task Force in various promotion activities (i.e. social media, chapter outreach, industry connections, etc.).
