ISACA Chennai offered up to 16 CPE for the 2026 conference, or 24 with workshops. ISACA Mumbai offered 14, and IIA India's national, Bombay and Delhi events 12 each. ICSI's Global Governance Conference offers 8 structured CPE credits, ISACA Hyderabad offered 8, and the PSU Summit offers 6 points. Check that your certifying body accepts them.

Who runs the event matters

Four of the nine events with confirmed dates come from one commercial organiser, Inventicon Business Intelligence, which shows no attendance figures or prices on the pages we read. Before booking, ask for the previous delegate list by job title.

Expect late announcements

Fourteen of the 23 events have no next edition published, including every ISACA chapter conference listed here. Check each chapter's site directly, because these events can fill up: ISACA Chennai's 2026 conference sold out.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a dedicated GRC conference in India?

Yes, but we found only one open event named for the whole discipline: the 3rd Annual Governance, Risk & Compliance India Summit, on 27–28 May 2027 at the Radisson Blu Mumbai International Airport. It's a young commercial series, in its third year. Other Indian events cover individual parts of GRC.

Which conferences cover the DPDP Act?

The Bharat Privacy Conference and Namma Privacy Conference from DPO Club, FDPPI's Indian Data Protection Summit, the DSCI Data Protection Summit and Inventicon's Customer Privacy & Data Protection India Summit all centre on it. DSCI's summit page refers to a compliance deadline in May 2027.

Which GRC conferences in India offer CPE credits?

ISACA chapter conferences and IIA India events publish CPE most clearly. In 2026 ISACA Chennai offered up to 16 for the conference, ISACA Mumbai 14 and IIA India's national conference 12. ICSI's Global Governance Conference in January 2027 offers 8 structured CPE credits.

Does The IIA hold a national conference in India?

Yes. IIA India's most recent national event, The Auditor's Ascent, was in Bengaluru on 12 February 2026 at Taj West End. IIA India hadn't listed a 2027 edition when we checked.

Does ISACA hold conferences in India?

Yes, through its local chapters. Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune and Hyderabad each ran an annual conference in 2026. None had announced a 2027 edition when we checked.

Which GRC conference should a company secretary attend?

ICSI's 1st Global Governance Conference in Mumbai on 8–9 January 2027 is the closest fit. ICSI is the statutory body for company secretaries, and the fee is ₹15,000 for members and ₹20,000 for others, plus 18% GST.
