Do I have to be an ISACA member to participate in an e-symposium?
Yes. All ISACA e-symposia are for ISACA members only.
How do I register for an e-symposium?
If you are a first time user (i.e., you have never previously participated in an ISACA e-Symposium), please follow these steps:
- Click the “Register“ link in the upper right corner of the e-symposium homepage (http://isaca.brighttalk.com).
- On the next screen you will be asked to create an online profile. Please note that the user ID and password you select are specifically for the e-symposium. At this time they are not the same as your ISACA username and password.
- Once you have answered all the questions and agreed to the terms and conditions of use, you will click the “Create New Account“ button on the bottom of the page, which will bring you back to the ISACA e-Symposium homepage.
If you have previously participated in an ISACA e-Symposium, please follow these steps:
- Click on the “Login“ button in the upper right hand corner to log in to the site using your e-symposium ID and password. If you are already logged in, skip to the next step.
- Click the “Confirm Attendance“ button on the right side of the e-symposium homepage.
- On the next screen you will be asked to complete a short survey related to that month's e-symposium.
- Once you have answered all the questions and agreed to the terms and conditions of use, you will click the “Submit“ button at the bottom of the page, which will bring you back to the ISACA e-Symposium homepage.
The grey button to the right of the e-symposium title should now say “Confirmed” to indicate that you have successfully registered for the event. You will receive an e-mail from isaca@brighttalk.com 24 hours prior to the start of the e-symposium reminding you of the event.
Do I have to agree to the terms and conditions of use?
The ISACA e-Symposium is a free monthly benefit for our members. BrightTALK is the vendor who hosts our monthly e-symposium event. Each e-symposium is sponsored by a company or organization so that ISACA can offer the events to our members free of charge. If you do decide to register for an event, the sponsor is provided with a one-time only use of registrant e-mails. Again, this is so that we can offer the monthly e-symposiums at no cost to our members. We can certainly understand your unwillingness to disclose your personal information, and you have every right not to do that. To clarify, ISACA does not collect our members’ personal information to sell or distribute it to marketers. Asking for this information in this instance is specific to the e-symposium, and only for the reason described above.
I registered for the event, how do I login?
An event email reminder will be sent approximately 50 – 60 minutes prior to the live event start time. Click the link in the email to join the live event and if necessary, login. Or, 10 – 15 minutes prior to the event start time, go to http://isaca.brighttalk.com and if necessary, login.
What if I forgot my password?
If you have previously attended an ISACA e-Symposium but have forgotten your password, please follow these steps:
- Click the "Confirm Attendance" button on the right side of the e-symposium homepage.
- On the next screen, click the link that says "Request New Password".
- On the next screen you will enter the e-mail address that you used to register for the site. Your new password will then be e-mailed to you.
What if I forgot my username?
If you have forgotten your e-symposium username, please e-mail Laureen Kaczmarek (lkaczmarek@isaca.org) or Gino Carlino (gcarlino@isaca.org) at ISACA and your request will be forwarded to our technical support team at BrightTALK.
How do I earn CPE credits?
You may earn 3 continuing professional education (CPE) credits for participating in each e-symposium in its entirety and completing a short 10-question quiz at the end of each 3-hour event. You must receive a passing score of 70% or higher on the 10-question quiz at the end of the session in order to earn the CPE credits. To access the CPE quiz, follow these steps:
- Click on the "Play" button within any presentation.
- Once the player opens in a separate window, you will see a series of tabs located on the player. Clicking on the "CPE" tab will bring up a link that says, "Please click here to take your CPE test & claim your CPE hours".
- Once that link is clicked the CPE quiz for the recorded event will then open up in a separate window.
- Upon successful completion of the quiz, you will have the option of printing your CPE certificate or downloading it to your computer.
Are my CPE hours automatically recorded?
Your CPE hours are NOT automatically recorded upon successful completion of the quiz at the end of the event. You are required to maintain a record of your results to report to ISACA during the annual renewal process. For more information on how to enter your CPE credits into your online profile, please contact our Certification Department at certification@isaca.org.
I am very interested in the e-symposium topics, but I cannot attend the live e-symposium. May I watch it later?
Yes. Each e-symposium is archived and available within 72 hours of the completion of the live presentation. For your convenience, each event is available online for 12 months and available on demand 24 hours a day. In order to receive an e-mail notification when each archive becomes available, please be sure to register for the event when you receive the e-mail invitation.
Am I able to earn CPE hours for an archived (on-demand) e-symposium?
Yes, you can earn CPE credits for any of the e-symposia by successfully passing a short (10-question) quiz at the conclusion of each event. You must correctly answer at least 7 of the 10 questions (70%) to receive the CPE credits.
I like to print the presentation materials and take notes. Can I do this?
Yes. The PowerPoint slides for each presentation may be downloaded as a PDF file by following these steps:
- Click the "View Programme" button next to the name of any e-symposium.
- On the next screen you will see links under each presentation allowing you to download the presentation slides as well as a podcast for each event.
- Once you click the "Download Slides" link, you will see a message that says, "Your download should begin shortly. If you are experiencing problems with the download please use this direct link." You will then be able to download the slides to your computer.
