Q: My company has a product to release that would be of interest to your members. Could we have your membership mailing list please?

A: Sorry. ISAG does not give out its membership details. Nor does it allow its web site to be used to advertise products or services.

Q: Our city/convention centre would like to offer its site for the next ISAG conference. When are ISAG's conferences scheduled? And what do we need to do to have you meet in our venue?

A: A proposal to host an ISAG conference has to be made by ISAG members and is usually made at a General Business Meeting of the Society (held at conferences every 2 years).

Therefore if you wish to promote your venue you should identify an ISAG member who will champion your cause. Unfortunately, ISAG does not give out its membership list.
