==About OWASP Summits==
The OWASP Project Summits are where OWASP community members and industry experts can meet to discuss 
the future of application security through project collaboration and discussion. It is a neutral, commercial-free 
setting put together by the OWASP Foundation where attendees are free to engage with their colleagues on 
software security related matters. 

It is important to note that OWASP Summits are NOT conferences even if they can be run alongside a conference. 
Typically, participants stay in shared accommodations and they are brought together to collaborate and produce a 
tangible result that sets the roadmap and focus for OWASP for the coming years. 

All are free to attend an OWASP Summit, and OWASP will strive to raise enough funds so the majority of 
participants can attend without need for out of pocket expense. All attendees must come ready and willing to 
collaborate and work towards producing a deliverable that will advance the state of software security.
