Top 10 iapp.org improvements 

The multi-year initiative aimed to make it easier for users to find what they need. 

Streamlined, user-focused navigation – User testing with professionals like you shaped our new site navigation. Take a tour of the new site and how we have helped organize information by clicking the top navigation sections.  

Revamped internal site search – Our internal site search has been overhauled and reconfigured. There are also distinct pages for you to search News articles and Resource content.  

Check it out: Internal site search

Streamlined individual conference pages – The number of pages associated with each conference has been consolidated from 18 to 5, resulting in a more accessible and navigable experience for attendees, speakers, sponsors and other stakeholders.

Filterable conference agendas – You can now filter any conference agenda by track, level of expertise, subject and industry. Our Cvent app remains the best experience for on-the-ground attendees to plan their days.

Thought leaders: Self-service updates via MyIAPP – Individuals featured on our site as thought leaders — including speakers, writers, board members and local KnowledgeNet chapter chairs — may now update their own profile information such as title, company and biography directly through MyIAPP. Please note that headshot uploads will continue to be managed by our team. Learn more about becoming a thought leader yourself.

Streamlined Resources section – This area now features improved navigation and organization, making it simpler for you to locate the IAPP research and resources that matter most.

Filterable, searchable directories – Whether you're seeking a job, finding an instructor-led training or exploring details about privacy laws in a particular area, we've created various mini-directories so you can easily filter, sort and search by keywords. These tools help you quickly access the specific information you need.

Check them out: Job postings | Global Privacy Directory | Official Training Partners | Organizational Members | AI governance glossary | Privacy glossary

New, better-organized FAQ pages – Structured FAQs now address your most common questions.  

Check them out: Certification FAQs | Thought leadership and volunteering FAQs | KnowledgeNet chairs FAQs

"Domain hub" pages – As part of our 2024 mission update, new hub pages now showcase IAPP’s roles in AI governance, cybersecurity law and privacy.

Additional changes

Some features and/or functionality have changed or been removed as part of this replatformed website.  

Web conferences and video recordings – Upcoming web conferences will still appear in the Resources section, with registrants receiving recordings and automatic CPE updates. Now, past recordings are available as filterable videos in Resources and can be viewed without registration. Certified users who watch a recording without registering for the live event must now self-submit CPEs.

"Contributions" pages for thought leaders – Individual web pages for thought leaders are no longer available. Contributions can be added to LinkedIn or personal sites, while names, titles, companies and bios remain accessible.

Past events and slide decks from past conference sessions – We will be publishing approximately a half-year of past conferences in the weeks following launch, which will include links to session slide decks. In the interim, you can access assets like this through the conference’s mobile app.  

See the Past Events page for instructions. 

A new MyIAPP account experience

In Fall 2025, we introduced a new MyIAPP account experience that requires all account holders – new and existing – to update their sign-in information the next time they want to access MyIAPP.

All existing materials in your account will still be there once you sign in. Think of this as a new door into your current home. 

What are we doing and why?

The updated sign-in and account setup enhances security, streamlines navigation, and lays the groundwork for future member benefits.

Benefits

• Usernames are no longer tied to your email, so you can keep your account if your email changes.
• Account security now includes multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Once signed in, you stay logged in for ninety days on the same device but can sign out anytime.
• Certified users can easily view certification status, CPEs, and related info.
• Improved navigation helps you quickly find what you need.
• Registering for web conferences and KnowledgeNet meetings now takes just one step instead of seven.

What to expect when you sign in for the first time if you haven’t since before September 2025

All account holders are asked to create a new sign-in.  

• All returning users must complete a quick three-step sign-up process. Your account materials remain unchanged; consider this a new way to access your updated account. After initial sign-up, you won’t need to sign in again for ninety days unless you manually sign out.
• MFA can be enabled on the “Profile and security” page after signing up. You now use a username to sign in instead of an email, though you’ll still provide an email during sign-up to link existing purchases, registrations, and certifications.
