Earn (CPE) Credits
By attending the Innovate Cybersecurity Summit, you’ll earn 10+ CPE credits toward your professional certifications.
We are a certified ISC2 CPE Submitter Partner, which means your participation at the Summit qualifies for continuing education credits recognized by ISC2.
If you hold a credential from ISACA (such as CISA, CISM, CRISC), you can report your Summit participation for CPE hours as well. You’ll receive the official event attendance documentation needed for your records, and you’ll be able to self‑report the credits via your ISACA member portal. ISACA
At the conclusion of The Summit, you will receive a certificate of attendance listing the number of hours earned and the event details.
For ISC2: Because we are a certified Submitter Partner, your qualifying hours will be automatically submitted on your behalf.
For ISACA: Use the certificate and event details to report your earned hours in the “Report and Manage CPE” section of your ISACA account.
Keep the certificate and event agenda as part of your records in case of audit by either organization.
