Proposals are open for the NGO-ISAC 2026 Annual Conference, and we especially want fresh voices and first-time presenters. Learned something the hard way? Found what works for your org? Have a take that challenges how we think about nonprofit cybersecurity? This is your moment. NGO-ISAC sessions are conversations, not lectures. You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert, just someone at or with a nonprofit who has something real to share about keeping people, data, or organizations safer.

We're accepting proposals in three focus areas:

• Personal Protection: digital safety, privacy, and individual risk, including phishing, scams, and field staff safety
• Incident Response: what actually happens when something goes wrong, from technical response to recovery and aftercare
• Organizational Security: building safety from the ground up, including fundamentals, AI policies, data retention, and staff training

Strong proposals are grounded in real experience, relevant to organizations of all sizes, including those without dedicated IT staff, built for participation rather than passive listening, and immediately useful to attendees.

Not ready to lead a full session? Send us a spark instead. Just a few sentences on a challenge you've faced, a question your org is wrestling with, or a topic worth discussing. We'll review every spark and may connect you with others who submitted something similar, giving you the chance to shape or co-present a session together.

Submit Your Proposal

Proposals are due by 11:59 PM ET on August 10, 2026. Heads up: you'll need an NGO-ISAC portal account to complete the Call for Presentations form. Creating one is free, so if you don't have an account yet, you'll be prompted to create one before starting your submission. Questions? Contact us at [email protected].
