Its now the OWASP & WASC AppSec 2007 Conference !!! @ eBay in San Jose, CA Nov 12-15, 2007
OWASP and WASC agreed to join forces to put together an incredible AppSec 2007 Conference for the application security community. A huge concentration of industry leading experts were in attendance presenting high quality web application security content. AppSec 2007 offered a unique opportunity for security professionals, software developers, and IT managers to get up to speed on the latest and greatest attack techniques, defense strategies, and industry trends in an atmosphere of peers. The conference format and venue is also perfect for networking and sharing experiences with others that are down in the trenches.
Conference Schedule and Location
The AppSec 2007 Conference was held at eBay at their facility at: 2211 North First Street in San Jose, CA Nov 12th-15th.
Training Days: November 12th-13th
Cenzic Cocktail Party: Evening of November 12th - at eBay.
Breach Cocktail Party: Evening of November 13th

OWASP Conference Dinner: Evening of November 14th

Agenda and Presentations: Wednesday-Thursday - Nov 14th-15th
The agenda followed the general OWASP conference format of two tracks, with opening keynotes and presentations in the main auditorium, split tracks in the middle of the day, and closing presentations back in the main auditorium both days.
New Web Services Track: In addition, the conference had a 3rd track on the first day. This track focused on Web Services Security which is a new area for OWASP. Gunnar Peterson organized this track.
This conference included presentations from many different OWASP and WASC contributors and leading Application Security professionals, and included closing panels each day.
Training: Monday-Tuesday - Nov 12th-13th
OWASP arranged for a suite of two-day Application Security training courses to be offered prior to the conference. General details about all the tutorials including location and pricing is available here. The tutorials being offered were:
T1. Building and Testing Secure Web Applications
T3. Secure Coding .NET Web Applications
T4. Web Services and XML Security
T5. Leveraging OWASP Tools and Documents to Secure Your Enterprise
T6. Open Source ModSecurity Training
Technology Expo: Tuesday-Wednesday Nov 13th-14th
Leading vendors in the application security space were at the conference for the first time giving technology demonstrations and providing access to their technical staff so they could answer in-depth questions and demonstrate the capabilities of their products or automated managed services.
The technology expo was open from 12PM - 2PM on Nov. 13th (and all tutorial attendees were given a large lunch break during that time to attend the expo). It was also open from 11AM - 6PM on Nov. 14th which was the first day of the conference.
What did conference attendees expect to get out of the Tech Expo?
- Hands-on time using a vendor's product - The goal was to be able to walk up to vendor with a USB stick of code/binaries/etc. and actually get a taste of how the tool(s) performs, technical features, applicability & appropriateness, etc.
- Evaluate in a non-sales environment - At the Expo, attendees were provided information about the types of tools being exhibited and independent evaluation criteria where that exists (e.g. the WAFEC from WASC, information from the OWASP_Tools_Project, etc.). It was an opportunity to ask the hard questions and talk to technical folks from the vendors that can answer them.
- Contact info exchange at your discretion - We did not do badge scanning and the like, so attendees were in control of who they want to follow-up with (via good, old-fashioned business card exchange).
The tech expo vendors for this year's conference were: Applicure, Armorize, Art of Defense, Breach, Cenzic, Cisco, F5, Fortify, Ounce Labs, Veracode, Watchfire, and White Hat
