GENERAL MEETINGS
MN ISSA holds its meetings on a quarterly basis and they generally have 2 speakers and networking opportunities. Typically chapter meetings are held the 3rd or 4th Tuesday of March, June, and September. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the start time (except virtual meetings) The 4th meeting of the year is the 'End of Year Cheer' multi-association, held in November, in partnership with other affiliates, such as the Minnesota Chapters of WiCyS, InfraGard, and the MCPA.
You are welcome to join us as a guest if you’re not currently an MN ISSA member! If you find value in attending our meetings and want to continue to participate, then we do ask that you become an ISSA member. Your membership provides great benefits to you and helps provide the funding needed to keep our chapter going. We appreciate it!
These meetings will rotate locations throughout the metro to align to our goal of reaching as many people as possible.
AFTER HOURS
Our After Hours format is more casual and interactive than our regular chapter meetings and is designed for those not always able to make regular meetings, for individuals from our larger local security community, as well as those who simply enjoy discussion with their peers and industry leading thinkers. Our After Hours events are typically Members Only, and are held on the last Tuesday of a month. The months will fluctuate based on Chapter Meetings, Holidays, etc., so check the website or watch social media for After Hours event updates.
Come out and join us – you’ll get informative presentations in intimate settings at great local venues, good food and refreshments, plus plenty of opportunity to refresh and build your network with valuable connections.
WEBINARS
Virtual seminars and webinars are offered to MN ISSA members and feature industry and subject matter experts from Minnesota and throughout the United States. The webinars allow us to expand on topics and discussions from chapter meetings, or explore new and emerging trends, impactful events, or requested content from our members and community. The format and structure change with the subject and webinar speakers, so be sure to check the event details for webinar details, links, and virtual session information.

2nd Annual End Of Year Holiday Cheer Social!
We had so much fun last year we had to run it back! And.. we leveled up on everything!
Please be part of our 2nd Annual gathering of Twin-Cities Security Industry professionals, hosted in partnership by the area's non-profit associations and sponsored by local technology firms, as we kick off the holiday season with another turn at casual social community gathering - and fun! Our industry is not getting any neither less exciting nor less mission critical. So let us toast our achievements and lessons learned in 2024 and prepare for the next set of challenges - which we will all tackle together!
Speaking of leveling up - we've selected the phenomenal OMNI (in Eagan) for this year's venue. And for those of you facing a longer commute, we promise to bring the show back to the west-side next year!
As consistent with the inaugural we will keep the agenda light and the hors d'oeuvres heavy. Please feel free to bring a friend or two - everyone is welcome!
Finally, as promised, we are excited to announce that most fittingly, Toys for Tots has been confirmed as our charitable sponsor! So please remember to bring a toy, and be ready to salute our men and women in uniform!

FAQs
Are non-members and guests welcome at meetings and events?
Yes, we welcome individuals at large from the security community to join us for any of our events. We simply ask that, after experiencing the value of our community at two events, individuals consider joining ISSA for the additional benefits that membership provides.
Why do we have to register to attend meetings and events?
Besides assisting the board with planning logistics for our events, registering for meetings and events, provides you with self-service documentation you can print out to support your CPE credits if you are audited.
