Its now the OWASP & WASC AppSec 2007 Conference !!! @ eBay in San Jose, CA Nov 12-15, 2007

OWASP and WASC have agreed to join forces this year to put together an incredible AppSec 2007 Conference for the application security community. A huge concentration of industry leading experts will be in attendance presenting high quality web application security content. AppSec 2007 offers 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.

Registration is now open for the conference. See below for details.

Conference Location

The AppSec 2007 Conference will be held at eBay at their facility at: 2211 North First Street in San Jose, CA Nov 12th-15th.

Training Days: November 12th-13th

Main Conference: November 14th-15th

Agenda and Presentations: Wednesday-Thursday - Nov 14th-15th

The agenda will follow the (current) standard 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 will have a 3rd track on the first day. This track is focused on Web Services Security which is a new area for OWASP. If you are interested in speaking at this conference on a Web Services Security topic, please contact Gunnar Peterson, who is organizing that track.

This conference will include presentations from many different OWASP and WASC contributors and leading Application Security professionals, and will include one panel each day.

The OWASP & WASC AppSec 2007 agenda is still being developed.

Training: Monday-Tuesday - Nov 12th-13th

We have arranged for a suite of two day Application Security training courses to be offered prior to the conference. The tutorials being offered are:

Building and Testing Secure Web Applications

Secure Coding for Java EE

Web Services and XML Security

Technology Expo: Tuesday-Wednesday Nov 13th-14th

Leading vendors in the application security space will be at the conference for the first time this year giving technology demonstrations and providing access to their technical staff so they can answer in-depth questions and demonstrate the capabilities of their products or managed services.

The technology expo will be open from 12PM - 2PM on Nov. 13th (and all tutorial attendees will be given a large lunch break during that time to attend the expo). It will also be open from 11AM until 5PM on Nov. 14th which is the first day of the conference.
