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: http://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Register/IdentityConfirmation.aspx?e=4abc9 35c-a7f8-47e1-83a0-23a2c36faf26 PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE TO REDUCE ADMINISTRATION COSTS TRAINING COURSES (May 15): These classes will be held at the Marriott.
