Summit 2011
Welcome
Dear OWASP Leaders and appsec community,
The Summit Activates *You*Whereas the OWASP AppSec conferences are great places to listen to interesting talks, go for training, and meet with OWASP people, the Global Summit is the place where we all sit down together and take the time to discuss and work out plans, projects and solutions for the appsec future. Examples of topics:

How Do I Join? / Mailing list
As an OWASP leader you are automatically invited to the summit. Cost to attend the summit is $800 USD (shared accommodations) plus travel expenses. Please see "Applying for Chapter and Project Funding" and "Letters and Summit Materials" tabs for more information on finding funding help for expenses.
The first thing to do is to join the Summit 2011 mailing list.
On the mailing list you'll get first hand information on how to register, exact dates, updates to the agenda, funding for your trip etc.
If you are a leading appsec expert from industry or academia but not yet an OWASP leader you can just contact John.Wilander at owasp.org and we'll try to get you in.
Social Events
It goes without saying - the summit is all about meeting people. So there will be a constant mixture of workshops, dinners, beers and wine. We like to think of the summit as a very social event in itself.

The total cost for most attendees will be €590 EUR or $800 USD (Summit Participant Ticket + 4 Nights Shared Accommodation).

A more detailed price chart with variations based on how many nights you will be staying, whether you want shared or private accommodations, and whether you have a companion is available below.
Summit Participant Tickets are tickets for individual participants and include the meals listed below during each day of the Summit. Individual participants should also select their preferred accommodations (shared or private).
Individual participants may also bring companions who are not participating in the Summit. Participants with companions must reserve private accommodations and purchase the Summit Companion Ticket. The Summit Companion Ticket covers the meals each day for the companion and the additional fees for an appropriate private room for both the participant and companion.

Work Model
The Fixed Working Sessions Model
Given the number of existent working sessions, trying to include them all into a fixed agenda would mean that each session would need to be allocated to a slot of 15 minutes.
In order to make the Summit a hub of productive and meaningful discussions, we have decided that the fixed schedule would only include the sessions with:
- Higher number of attendees;
- Focus on matters of interest to the wider community.
The rest of the sessions are scheduled during the Dynamic sessions, which are available HERE
The fixed schedule working sessions are organized into 2 tracks in the 2 main conference rooms:
Here is the list of the fixed schedule working sessions:
