Submission Guidelines
If you want to submit a paper or training, please take note of the following:
* Vendor-Specific Proposals: OWASP does not accept product or vendor-related submissions. If your talk is a thinly-veiled advertisement for a new product, technology or service your company is offering, please do not apply. If you would like to publicize a product, please contact [email protected] for information on exhibiting and other vendor opportunities, including sponsored sessions.
* All presentations must be submitted by the original authors: We currently only accept submissions by original authors of the presentations. PR firms, speaking relation firms, and all other parties who are not direct authors of submitted presentations are discouraged from submitting a proposal on behalf of their clients/speakers. We require direct contact with presenters to expedite questions during the submission review process.
* Supporting materials: If you have an existing body of work available on the subject (blog posts, video, articles, papers...), you now have the possibility to point that out as well. This may help the committee in gauging the nature and the amount of thought and work you have already put into your subject.
What is in it for the Attendees? It is important to let the delegates know what is in it for them. The best presentations are generally those that have good audience interaction and are informing as well as entertaining. It is also important to offer the delegates something to take away that they will be able to use immediately on return to their daily work routine.
Audiences do have a preference for presentations which reflect practical applications of something, as opposed to theory.
Envisaging the main take-aways for the delegates will help you to develop your presentation. What would you like delegates to tell their colleagues about your session when they get back to work?

Selection Criteria
The Selection Committee will review all abstracts that have been submitted on time. The submissions will be rated on a one to five scale by each of the reviewers on the following criteria:
1. Concept: This is the basic idea of your submission. Is it interesting? Is it relevant? Will it be beneficial for the community to hear? Does the speaker have a unique, fresh, and entertaining online and/or stage persona?
2. Clarity / Quality of presentation: Are the ideas conducive to present in front of an audience? Is the abstract articulate and specific? Abstracts should be logical, well-structured and easy to understand. Abstracts should present complete information. This criterion addresses how well the specific research question(s) and objectives, methods used, primary results, etc are explained, rather than the quality of the study itself. A brief, clearly written abstract follows a logical order (e.g. aims, methods, results, followed by a clear interpretation of the results and any implications).
3. Correctness: First, is the technical approach sound and well-chosen? Second, can one trust the claims of the paper -- are they supported by proper proofs, or other argumentation?
4. Depth: Is the basic idea well considered and thought out? To what extent will the audience gain insight? Does this paper have enough substance, or would it benefit from more ideas or results?
5. Takeaway / Innovative content/ Originality / Uniqueness: Is the attendee going to leave this session knowing something they didn't know when they walked in? Are they learning or being inspired? Has this talk or sort of talk been given at a recent AppSec event, or it is something that it is relatively untouched or has a new and interesting spin? Does the abstract present truly innovative ideas and creative solutions to new or known challenges within the industry? How original is the approach? Does this paper break new ground in topic, methodology, or content? Submissions showcasing cutting-edge ideas and approaches or containing significant new findings will be favored.
6. Relevance / contribution to the knowledge: How significant is the work described? If the ideas are novel, will they also be useful or inspirational? If the results are sound, are they also important? This criterion addresses the importance of the research in terms of advancing the subject. Abstracts should help the conference contribute to the progression of the industry as a whole. Particular emphasis will be given to abstracts that provide useful outputs and practical advice & tools for the audience in their daily work.
