Ongoing volunteer opportunities
We look to our members to help us develop high-quality items for our certification exams. If you are looking for a way to share your expertise* and help make sure our AIGP, CIPP, CIPM and CIPT exams test essential knowledge from the fields of information privacy, data protection and AI governance, this is your opportunity.
*Please note that per our ANAB accreditation, volunteer item writers must be certified in the exam designation they intend to write for.
If you want to get even more from an IAPP event, get involved. Choose from a number of fun, well-organized volunteer opportunities at upcoming IAPP conferences.Â
Please note: You need to be registered for the conference to volunteer for one of these opportunities. Volunteers do not receive complimentary conference passes, but they do receive our unyielding gratitude and respect.
KnowledgeNet chapter meetings generally feature a speaker or panel discussion. If you would like to volunteer, email us at knowledgenet@iapp.org and tell us what and where you would like to present.Â
Publishing articles with the IAPP is a unique opportunity to provide thought leadership to a thriving network of professionals around the world and receive continuing professional education credits.
The IAPP welcomes original submissions, from both members and nonmembers, on topics related to privacy, cybersecurity law, AI governance and other associated subjects. Articles should offer a unique perspective or new subject analysis.
