Revision as of 17:03, 20 March 2012
OWASP Leaders,
Many of you assisted with, attended, or at least heard about the success of the 2011 OWASP Global Summit (Summit Report PDF) (Results wiki page). As 2011 draws to a close and the Global Conference Committee looks to the future, we are looking for a group of volunteers interested in forming the planning team for the next Global Summit which is projected for 2013.
The Bi-Annual OWASP Global Summit is the place where application security experts meet to discuss plans, projects and solutions for the future of application security. The Summit is not a conference - there are no talks or training seminars. Rather, it is an opportunity to do actual work to further the field of application security.
Participants will stay in shared accommodations and collaborate to produce tangible progress towards influencing standards, developing tools, establishing roadmaps, and setting the tone for OWASP and application security for the coming years.
WHEN:
February 16-21st 2013
WHERE:
Liberty of the Seas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
COST:
There are a variety of stateroom categories available but the venue will be approximately $1000 all-inclusive, including room service and all your other shipboard needs.
Example daily schedule:
Morning - 9am: Open seating breakfast 9 - 12: Sessions in one of our 5 meeting rooms 12 - 1: Team lunch 1 - 5: Additional sessions in one of our 5 meeting rooms 6 - 8: Time for groups to meet for informal gatherings/sessions in the meeting rooms or in other facilities around the ship 8 - 9: Team dinner 9 - 11: Evening networking activities 24/7: *Coder's Den: Dedicated space to group/team code development for OWASP projects (we will have onboard source code repositories as well) *Facilitated ad-hoc meetings at various spaces around the ship
VENUE:
We realize you might have some concerns about the venue. Believe it or not modern cruise ships have full conference centers on board (state of the art AV, facilities and even air walls), robust internet connections, and amazing food. Also, because of the fixed cost, there is no worrying about ordering a steak at dinner (in fact, you can have 2 if you want), it's all included in the price of attendance.
A growing number of organizations and conferences are choosing ship venues for their next event. The conference ship option is actually less expensive per person the 2011 summit in Lisbon and we will actually have MORE bandwidth at sea than we had at the CampoReal venue! Additionally, they offer a level of seclusion not available on any land based venue allowing attendees to focus and be productive while still providing ample opportunities to network and meet new people from the community
The initial tasks for the 2013 Summit Planning Team will be sending out a call for venue proposals, developing an event budget, and reaching out to some of the various communities and companies that may be interested in participating. If you are interested in being part of the initial planning team - please email [email protected] (alternatively Mark Bristow or Sarah Baso), who will work with getting the planning team and organize a planning meeting for early 2012.
We look forward to hearing from you with your interest!
Next Meeting
Our next planning call will be in mid-February, date and Time TBA

Initial Budgets
Initial budget (please note, this budget only represents OWASP's costs and does not factor in ticket sales) was reviewed by the OWASP Board at an in-person meeting at AppSec USA on September 20th 2011.
- The second option was budgeted by the board
- This option sponsors attendance of OWASP Leadership (Board and Committees), OWASP Employees and 50 members (roughly 100 attendees paid by OWASP)
- The option plans for a total expenditure of $250,000 (note, this is not the total cost of the event, just the portion OWASP will pay)
- This option assumes we can retain $50,000 in sponsorship dollars
- $100,000 have been set aside in the 2012 budget to
Planning began with the Global Conferences Committee in August of 2011
Initial budget (please note, this budget only represents OWASP's costs and does not factor in ticket sales) was reviewed by the OWASP Board at an in-person meeting at AppSec USA on September 20th 2011. More details on the event budget can be found here. This was used to set realistic boundaries on the summit venue selection process
A call for volunteers to join the core planning team was posted to the OWASP Leaders mailing list on December 12th 2011.
The first planning meeting was held on January 16th (meeting minutes)
Selection Process
An open request for proposals was sent out on January 31st 2012 and the RFP was open until February 29th 2012.
- The RFP took into consideration the venue atmosphere direct costs, food & beverage, Internet connection and Audio/Video
- The RFP assumed 300 attendees and included breakfast, lunch, dinner, lodging, meeting facilities and networking.
- 10 proposals were received
- Summit proposals were collected and a comparison of the financials was created
- Travel costs were estimated by OWASP's contract travel company Seagle travel using notional attendees based on OWASP membership data
- The costs in the spreadsheet calculate the estimated TOTAL cost for the event, not OWASP's portion and do not factor in ticket sales.
- Estimates were inclusive of travel
- Average cost per attendee for all proposals was $2,530.29 (est)
- The cheapest was Royal Holloway of London at $1,938.04/attendee (est)
- The most expensive was the Park Hyatt Aviara at $3,123.54/attendee (est)
- The Liberty of the Seas option was $2,137.34/attendee (est), $199.30 more expensive per person than the cheapest option.
- For comparison, the average cost per attendee at the 2011 Summit was $2,269.67
An initial vote to down select the venues to a more manageable level was conducted on March 2nd 2012
A final vote was conducted by the volunteer summit planning team on March 12th 2012
The Global Conferences Committee provided unanimus consent of the planning team selection at it's meeting on March 14th 2012
