Where to Find ISA Events, Conferences, and Industry Content

Updated

The ISA website (isa.org) is the main entry point for the society's upcoming webinars, large conferences, and industry content. The homepage lists near-term virtual events with registration links, dates and locations for major summits, and pointers to Automation.com and the Podomation podcast. Use the sections below to go straight to the channel you need.

Upcoming Webinars and Events

The homepage's "Upcoming Events" section lists short virtual sessions, each with a date, time (ET), topic, and a Register link. The events shown in the page evidence are:

Date Topic
15 October, 11:00 a.m. ET Routes for Complying with the EU CRA and the Importance of Risk Assessments
21 October, 11:00 a.m. ET Never Trust, Always Verify! How SBOMs Can Make or Break Your Reputation
28 October, 11:00 a.m. ET Operational Functional Safety & OT Cybersecurity
29 October, 11:00 a.m. ET Wireless Steam Trap Monitoring Using ISA100: From Utility Blind Spots to Actionable Insights

Each listing has its own registration link, so register per session rather than through a single events page. A "View all" link sits at the end of the section for the full calendar.

Major Conferences

Two large in-person events are listed with dates and venues:

  • ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit — 16–17 June 2027, Athens Marriott Hotel, Leof. Andrea Siggrou 385, Athina 175 64, Greece.
  • ISA Automation Summit & Expo–USA — 17–19 October 2027, Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, 2800 Opryland Drive, Nashville, TN.

Note that both are scheduled for 2027, so check the site closer to the date for agendas and registration details.

Industry Content Channels

Beyond events, ISA publishes content through several channels referenced on the homepage:

  • Automation.com Monthly — the October issue covers OT cybersecurity trends; the link goes to Automation.com.
  • Podomation — ISA's official podcast; the latest episode discussed cybersecurity in the water/wastewater sector in light of recent US incidents, and is available on Automation.com.
  • News releases — for example, the announcement of the Fourth Edition of A Guide to the Automation Body of Knowledge.
  • Mimo — an AI-powered large-language model trained on ISA content (standards, training, reports, articles, presentations) that answers questions about industrial automation.

Related Training and Standards

Some event listings tie into paid training and standards. The homepage notes a Cybersecurity Awareness Month offer valid through 31 October: 300 USD off ISA cyber training and 10% off select cyber standards. A separate session, IC31C, is promoted for water and wastewater operations cybersecurity. If you are deciding between a webinar and a course, treat the free listings as awareness sessions and the training as the deeper option — confirm current pricing on the linked pages, since offers are time-limited.

Practical Tips

  • Event times are given in ET; convert to your local time before registering.
  • Registration links are per event, so bookmark the "View all" page if you want to track new sessions.
  • For membership questions, the homepage links to Join and Renew pages; 2027 dues are noted as due by December 31.
