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.

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.
