Dear Colleague,
OWASP is proud to announce its 6th Application Security
Conference to be held May 15-17 at the Marriott in Milan,
Italy. Please reserve these dates!! This facility looks to
be the nicest facility we have had the opportunity to use
yet for our European conferences.
This conference will include:
- Training (On May 15th) Three 1-day application security
courses are being offered the day prior to the conference
- Main Conference (May 16-17) This year's conference will
include daily keynotes, presentations, refereed papers, lots
of OWASP projects, and two panels to encourage discussion
amongst the attendees.
- Evening Social Event (May 16) - We are planning a social
event as we do each conference which facilitates the
attendees ability to mingle and get to know each other
better.
Current details on the conference are available on the OWASP
website at
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/6th_OWASP_
AppSec_Conference_-_Italy_2007 This conference is
expected to be kicked off with a keynote by a representative
from Microsoft on "The Benefits of the SDL initiative
to Microsoft and its Customers". This should be similar
to the presentation that Mike Howard gave to kick off the
5th OWASP AppSec Conference which was the highlight of that
conference (in my opinion). It discusses the Microsoft
Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) and the benefits
Microsoft and its customers have gained by developing and
adopting it.
OWASP's AppSec conferences are dedicated to real-world
application security issues and solutions. You'll learn many
aspects of application security, including people, process,
and technology perspectives.
REGISTRATION DETAILS: As a non-profit charitable
organization, OWASP has been able to keep the cost to 450
Euro's per seat. For OWASP Members it's only 400 Euros.
These prices are further reduced by 50 Euros for early
registration prior to April 16th.
Note: Payment for the conference will actually have to be in
US dollars as OWASP currently has no mechanism for accepting
Euro's for payment with our current registration system.
Registration is available at:
