Frequently Asked Questions

Registering for In-Person Events

Do I need an ISACS account to register?

Yes, you must have an ISACS account to register for an event. Click the Log In button at the top right of any page to be prompted to sign in or sign up for an account.

Do I need to be part of an ISACS Member School to register for a professional learning event?

Generally, no. Certain events are limited to ISACS Membership and will be listed as such. If you have any questions about whether or not you are eligible to attend an event, reach out to programinfo@isacs.org.

How do I register for a professional learning webinar or event?

Go to the webpage for that event and click on the Register (in-person events) or Enroll (webinars) button. If you are not already logged in, you will be prompted to do so.

Follow the listed steps, answering all required questions.

The registered contact person will receive a confirmation email with further instructions.

What payment options are available?

Unless otherwise noted, payment may be made via credit card, ACH withdrawal, or you may select Bill (School Name). You are responsible for forwarding the invoice to your school for payment.

If your registration fee is being covered by Title Funds, please register as soon as possible and select Bill (School Name) and follow your school's procedures to secure funding. Please notify ISACS at programinfo@isacs.org that your payment will be coming from a Title provider. If you need any further documentation or information, please contact robin@isacs.org.

Will I receive a Certificate of Attendance?

Registered participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance via email within 3 days of the conclusion of a workshop, conference, or stand-alone webinar.

What is the cancellation policy for in-person events?

One-Day Workshops
Cancellations must be received by email at programinfo@isacs.org at least 10 business days before the workshop.

Multi-Day Events
Cancellations must be received by email at programinfo@isacs.org at least 15 business days before the event. 

Refund amounts, if any, vary by event and may not be determined until after the event concludes. If the event has a waitlist and ISACS can identify a replacement attendee, a full refund will be provided. If you feel ill or are experiencing flu-like symptoms, please remain at home.

Hotels & Room Blocks

What if I am paying for my hotel with a school credit card?
A credit card is required to make a hotel reservation. At check-in, guests must present a credit card in their name—either a personal or school credit card—to cover hotel charges. If a guest does not have a school credit card and the school intends to pay for the hotel charges, please contact karen@isacs.org several weeks prior to arrival. This will allow time for a school representative to complete the hotel's credit card authorization form. Once the form is submitted and approved for all charges (room, tax, and incidentals), the guest will not need to present a credit card at check-in.

ISACS Annual Conference

When & where is the next Annual Conference?
November 5 & 6, 2026 in Detroit, MI.
How do I register?
Registration for the ISACS Annual Conference generally opens in August.
  • You must log in with your ISACS account before you can register.
  • Choose your registration package.
  • Follow the steps using the blue Next button, answering all required questions and selecting your sessions and lunch.
  • If a session is full, please choose another.
What are my payment options?
  • Registrants may pay by ACH, credit card, or opt to "Bill My School."
  • Registrants who select "Bill My School" are responsible for forwarding their invoice to their school's business office for payment. ISACS will process one payment once your school's registration is complete. Alternatively, the registrant can follow the instructions in the invoice email to apply payment themselves.
  • If your school would like to arrange for a group payment, contact Robin Breslin at robin@isacs.org.
  • ISACS recommends payments via check or ACH. Invoices over $2,000 paid by credit card will incur an additional 3% processing fee.
  • Title Funds: ISACS can accept Title Funds for registration fees. Please work with the individual at your school who procures Title Funds to ensure funding requests procedures are followed.

Important note: Only one person should enroll your school in a webinar. A single registration will allow your entire school to access both the live and recorded* versions of the webinars.

*Not all webinars are recorded. Please check the individual webinar description for recording availability.

Who is the "Contact Person?"
The person who registers a school for a webinar becomes the Contact Person. They will receive additional communications from ISACS regarding Zoom links, important reminders, and post webinar resources to share with their school community.
How long are the live webinars?
Webinars are generally one hour unless otherwise noted.
Why attend live?
Attending live offers participants the ability to interact with presenters & post questions in real time. Registration on Zoom is required to attend live.
How can I access the recording?
Zoom registrants will automatically receive an email from Zoom when the recording is available. Unless otherwise noted, recordings are accessed through the Zoom lobby (accessible at the same Zoom link used to register). The Contact Person for a registered school will receive a link to the recording within 3 days. Check the event's page for details on availability and expiration.

Passwords are not required to access the recordings; however, registrants will be prompted to sign into their Zoom Account before gaining access to each webinar.
How can I access webinar resources?
Resources will be added to the webinar's Zoom Lobby when made available by presenter(s).
May I share the recording link?
Recordings must only be accessed by schools that registered for that webinar. Do not share the recording links with others outside your school community. ISACS will contact any non-registrant who completes the online form and will require a registration fee.
What does this error message mean?
If you see an error message, it likely means someone from your school has already registered and you already have access.
Example error message: "Unable to load eligible types: InvalidRequest: InvalidOperation: Unable to complete registration because the maximum number of registrations for your organization - 1 - has been reached."
Do you offer refunds for webinars?
No, ISACS does not provide refunds for any virtual learning.
