 The OWASP BASC (Boston Application Security Conference)  will be a free, one day, informal conference, aimed at increasing awareness and knowledge of application security in the greater Boston area. While many of the presentations will cover state-of-the-art application security concepts, the BASC is intended to appeal to a wide range of attendees. Application security professionals, professional software developers, software quality engineers, computer science students, and security software vendors will come to the BASC to learn, interact and hopefully enjoy themselves at the same time. We encourage local students, security professionals and academics to present papers as a way to gain exposure and experience in presenting at security conferences.

-BASC 2014 has three levels of sponsorship: '''Platinum''', '''Gold''' and '''Silver'''.
+Sponsorship is completely independent of and unrelated to speaking slots. OWASP does not allow distribution of attendee lists, or use of them for anything other than conference updates. OWASP is a 501c3 not-for-profit worldwide charitable organization.
-'''Platinum''' (max of 5)  and '''Gold''' (max of 3) both provide a physical presence at the conference, and the digital and printed presence below
+Sponsorship dollars go to conference expenses (90% food and 10% attendee, speaker and volunteer giveaways). Any remaining funds are split between OWASP International and OWASP Boston.
