Yes — we will send out a second invitation one week before the meeting date and promote chapter meetings through the IAPP website, social media and publications. Chairs are welcome to forward the IAPP meeting invitation to their networks.

Not currently. We are researching if this would be a possibility in the future and we encourage all members to take advantage of early bird and member pricing offers for conferences.

Yes, but you must have another speaker (in addition to the host speaker) that works at another organization. If your meeting features a single speaker, that speaker cannot be from the host venue; additionally, if your meeting features a panel with multiple speakers, each presenter should represent different areas of expertise. This is to encourage content and panel diversity.

The IAPP will thank collaborators on event communication and the event website. Chairs are encouraged to thank venue hosts and collaborators at the event.

No, the IAPP does not provide any monetary assistance. Our KnowledgeNet chapter program has a unique structure (considered a grassroots program) in that we encourage our chairs to enlist an entrepreneurial spirit to help find local collaborators to donate space and volunteer their time to speak.

Guests and non-members can attend one meeting as space allows. They must create a free IAPP account and register through the IAPP.

Yes — these informal networking events are open to both members and non-members. Attendees are not eligible for CPE credit. They must create a free IAPP account and register through the IAPP.

CPEs are awarded two weeks after the meeting date. Certified attendees will receive one credit per hour of educational content. Certified speakers will receive three credits per hour of content.

Yes — certified KnowledgeNet Chapter chairs receive three CPE credits at the end of each year of their two-year term.

Invitations are only sent to IAPP members who have opted-in to KnowledgeNet updates in their MyIAPP subscription center. If you are still having trouble, email knowledgenet@iapp.org.

Yes, but please do not include a separate registration link. All registrations for your meeting must come through the IAPP. You are welcome to share our registration link on social media or LinkedIn.

We encourage all chapters to create their own LinkedIn groups to help connect locally. These groups are completely volunteer-driven and are not moderated or managed by IAPP staff. Their creation is at the discretion of the chairs. The use of other platforms, such as WhatsApp and Slack, are not supported at this time. Please contact your staff partner for more guidance.
