    Here is the link to the online Section Activity Request Form.  

    https://webportalapp.com/sp/section-event-request" title="https://webportalapp.com/sp/section-event-request" href="https://webportalapp.com/sp/section-activity-request" target="_blank" class="fui-Link ___1rxvrpe f2hkw1w f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1nev41a f1h8hb77 f1lqvz6u f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" rel="noopener">https://webportalapp.com/sp/section-activity-request

    ISA asks Sections to complete the form and submit a request for the following activities:

    1. Promotion of any activities to members outside of the section's jurisdiction
    2. Activities with more than one section
    3. Exhibiting at, participating in, partnering, or sponsoring another organization's event/conference
    4. Any participation or activity with any for-profit entity other than a company sponsorship of a section meeting
    5. Proposed conference, expo, or training

    No promotion nor contracts may be done until approval is granted. Requests must be submitted a minimum of 45 days in advance of the activity. Any activity requiring approval within two weeks of an ISA conference within the region will not be approved. Approval is delegated by the Executive Board to the Conference Advisory Committee. This is not an exhaustive list, and the Conference Advisory Committee has the authority to request that a section submit for approval for other activities beyond this list.

    If approval is granted, the section is only permitted to use the section name and logo. ISA brand and logo guidelines must be followed.

    Upcoming conferences and dates to avoid for 2025 are:

    2025 ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit

    18-19 June 2025 | Brussels, Belgium
    Insights and understanding of how to use standards and conformance systems to keep operational technology (OT) safe and secure.

    I'd like to point out having an event without approval will remove a Section from Good Standing. That means they will not receive a rebate check for the entire year, and if it happens two years in a row, the Section will be disestablished. It's easy to submit for approval, and would be a shame for either of those to happen!
