The NGO-ISAC Annual Conference is the only national gathering dedicated exclusively to nonprofit cybersecurity: a full day of peer learning, practical sessions, and community connection for the people protecting mission-driven organizations. Join us this November for a program built by and for the nonprofit cybersecurity community. 

This year's agenda is built around resilience -- with sessions spanning Personal Protection, Incident Response, and Organizational Security. This gathering is a unique opportunity to explore these topics together, with your peers. Bring your questions, bring what you've learned the hard way, and help build the kind of collective wisdom that makes all of us more resilient. 

Deadline to register is Friday, October 30, 2026 or when we reach capacity at 200 attendees, whichever comes first.
