Call For Sponsorships

OWASP New Zealand Day 2020 will be held in Auckland on the 21st of February, 2020, and is a security conference entirely dedicated to application security. The conference is once again being hosted by the University of Auckland with their support and assistance. OWASP New Zealand Day 2019 is a very low-cost event, and requires sponsor support to help be an instructive and quality event for the New Zealand community. OWASP is strictly not for profit. The sponsorship money will be used to help make OWASP New Zealand Day 2020 a compelling, and valuable experience for all attendees.

Sponsorship funds collected are to be used for things such as:

  • Venue - Room use and on-site management fees
  • Name tags - We feel that getting to know people within the New Zealand community is important, and name tags make that possible
  • Promotion - We would like to reach a wider audience, by utilising paid advertising for the event
  • Printed Materials - Printed materials will include program information, room signs, and lanyards
  • Recognition items for speakers and trainers
  • Morning and afternoon tea, to promote a congenial environment for networking among application security professionals

Facts

Last year, the event was supported by six premier sponsors and attracted more than 650 attendees. Plenty of constructive (and positive!) feedback from the audience was received, and we are using this to make the conference more appealing to more people. For more information on the last New Zealand Day event, please visit: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_New_Zealand_Day_2019

The OWASP New Zealand community is strong, with more than 500 people currently subscribed to the mailing list (sign up). OWASP New Zealand Day is expected to attract between 700 and 850 attendees this year.

OWASP regular attendees are IT project managers, IT security managers, IT security consultants, Web application architects and developers, QA managers, QA testers and system administrators.

How to Become a Sponsor

All financial matters related to the conference, including Sponsorship Agreements and payments, are handled through the OWASP Foundation. To express interest in supporting the conference as a sponsor, please contact us by email.

Notes

Sponsor Logos:

  • Logos are to be provided by the respective sponsors, as digital files (JPEG and PNG preferred)
  • Logos provided should be full colour
  • For lanyards and tote bags (including Platinum/Gold/Silver Sponsors), a single-colour version of the logo should also be provided, in a separate file. If a single-colour version of the logo is not provided by the sponsor, the OWASP New Zealand Day Committee reserves the right to electronically convert the full-colour logo to a single-colour version, or omit the sponsor's logo from the imprinted items if that proves infeasible.

Sponsor Banners:

  • Lobby and stage-side banners are to be provided by the respective sponsors, must be free-standing, and their size is subject to approval by the OWASP New Zealand Day Committee.
  • The conference venue includes two tracks, conducted in separate auditoriums; Platinum Sponsors may display one banner to the side of each auditorium's stage; Gold Sponsors may display a banner to the side of the stage in one auditorium. Gold Sponsors may express an auditorium preference, but final locations are at the discretion of the OWASP New Zealand Day Committee.
  • There will be a maximum of four (4) sponsor banners displayed in each auditorium, with placement priority given to Platinum Sponsors.

Promotional Items:

  • Printed materials are limited in dimensions to A4 size - either a single sheet, printed on one or both sides; or a single A3 sheet, folded in half
  • Small imprinted items are also acceptable - pens, stress balls, USB keys, fidget spinners, etc.
  • Design of printed materials and imprinted items are subject to approval by OWASP New Zealand Day Committee
  • RECRUITMENT: In addition to the promotional item allowances included in Premium Sponsorship Packages, any sponsor may provide one A5-size card with information on actual current vacancies for which candidates are actively being sought

Reserved Conference Passes

Although there is no registration fee for the conference day, there is a hard limit of 1,000 tickets that can be issued for the event. As part of your sponsorship package, you will have the specified number of registrations set aside for you and your team, to ensure you can all take part in the main conference on Friday.

Training Passes

The listed quantities of Training Day Passes refer to "half-day equivalents." For example, a Platinum sponsor would be entitled to eight (8) seats in half-day classes, four (4) seats in full-day classes, or any combination up to eight (8) total half-days of training. Training Day Passes may be freely transferred (e.g., as promotional gifts or to sponsor students/unwaged to attend), but may not be resold.

NOTE: All amounts listed are in New Zealand dollars (NZD)

Diversity and Financial Aid fund

Thanks to the generous support of our lovely sponsors, we will have some funding available to help people from around New Zealand attend the OWASP NZ Day, who would otherwise find it hard to attend. In particular, we welcome applications from women, people of colour, LGBTIQ, and all others. You all deserve to be able to learn more about security, and we’ll do our best to help make that happen!

Our funds are limited, and we’ll be reviewing applications every week, starting at the end of January. Submit your application soon, so we can approve them promptly, and you’ll be in several review cycles!

Process:

  • Fill out our Application Form - Available 1 December 2019
  • We will review and approve applications each week. The first reviews will be completed by 20 December.
  • We will contact all applicants and let them know the result of the review.
  • Successful applicants will be contacted to help sort things out.

We use the following criteria to help us decide who gets approved:

  • We are biased towards (but not exclusively for) diverse applicants.
  • We do attempt to maximise cost efficiency and will aim to get as many people to OWASP as possible, with our limited funds.

Each successful recipient can choose whether to be kept anonymous (in which case only the OWASP NZ committee will know the details of your funding), or to be put in touch with the supporting company whose sponsorship is going towards your attendance (if applicable). We think some of our sponsors may enjoy the opportunity to chat with you on the day and talk about your experiences and plans for the future, but that’s totally optional and up to you.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop us an email: [email protected]

Code of Conduct

We want to make the OWASP NZ Day a welcoming environment for all attendees. To that end, we would like to remind you that all activities associated with this event are subject to OWASP's Conference Policies. At their core, these policies are intended to promote and maintain an inclusive, welcoming environment for all participants - actions detrimental to that environment are unwelcome.

Speakers, trainers and sponsors have all been reminded of these policies, and are expected to abide by them like all attendees.

If you have any concerns during the day, please seek out John, Austin, or Brendan. We will make ourselves visible at the start of the day, so you know what we look like.
