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:

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE TO REDUCE ADMINISTRATION COSTS

EVENING SOCIAL EVENT - May 16th - An optional dinner event.

great chance to mingle and meet many members of the OWASP community.
