Front Range OWASP Conference 2009
Welcome to SnowFROC, the Winter 2009 Front Range OWASP Application Security Conference!
After a successful FROC in June of 2008, we are back in Denver, Colorado USA on 5 March 2009!
This year we again present a full day, FREE multi-track conference.
In 2008, we attracted a packed venue with our great AppSec speakers, and we hope to achieve the same again in 2009. This year we organized the conference to occur during the peak of the Colorado ski season, so that speakers can head up to the nearby mountains before and/or after the conference to enjoy some of the legendary snow.
Conference Location
This year, the conference will be held at the Tivoli Student Union in downtown Denver, CO.
Call for Presentations
The call for papers closed on 6 Feb 09. We received a tremendous response. Thanks to everybody who responded!
Agenda and Presentations: 5 March 2009
The agenda follows the successful OWASP conference two tracks format, with opening keynotes and presentations in the main auditorium, split tracks in the middle of the day, and closing panel discussions back in the main auditorium.
