Back to main Summit 2011 page

This page contains answers to frequently asked questions about the 2011 OWASP Summit.

Logistics

What is the Global Summit? Is it like AppSec or other OWASP conferences?

The 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 - this 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, establishing roadmaps, and setting the tone for OWASP and application security for the coming years.

The Summit will consist of working sessions across a variety of topics set by our community. Participants are free to attend any working session, but we encourage everyone to select working sessions for topics where they have the most to contribute.

Anyone can attend the Summit! OWASP community members, application security experts, industry players, and developers are all welcome at the Summit. If you would like to receive a personalized invitation for yourself or another person, see the promotional materials page.

The Summit will be held February 8th-11th, 2011.

What if I want to arrive early/stay later at the Summit venue?

Funding

I don't have enough money to pay for my trip. How can I still go?

See the attendee funding page.

I'm an OWASP leader - why isn't this free for me?

But OWASP paid for everything at the last Summit! Why did it change?

So who is being funded?

Why do they get funded and not me?

What does it mean to be a "sponsored" Summit attendee?

See the section on Logistical Guidelines and Expectations for OWASP-Sponsored Attendees, which outlines what costs will be covered for sponsored attendees as well as what will be asked from them in exchange for the sponsorship.

Are there any requireents or expectations for sponsored Summit attendees?

What is the process for requesting funds from my local OWASP chapter or project to pay for my trip?

My chapter leader is not responding so I don't know if I can get chapter funding. Can you help me?

My employer needs an invitation letter/documentation to sponsor me to go? Where do I get this?

Can my company have a logo on the wiki page if they fund me?

I need help convincing my employer to fund my Summit attendance - what should I tell them?

Working Sessions

I want to plan/run a Working Session. What do I need to do?

  1. If you haven't done so already, please add your name to the Summit Attendee page.
  2. If you will need help with funding, please visit the attendee funding page for more information.
  3. After we know you plan to attend the Summit, visit the Summit working sessions page and determine if there is a working session already listed that you are interested in running/planning/leading, or if you have a new idea.
  4. If there is a session already listed without a leader, feel free to add your name as the leader and send Sarah Baso an email letting her know your intent. She can set you up with a working session page and let you know about any next steps. If a leader already is listed for the session you are interested in, add you your nams as session member/attendee and email the leader to see what you can do to help.
  5. If you have a new idea, add your information to one of the blank rows under the appropriate track name, or under Track 9: Placeholder if you don't see a good fit. Send Sarah Baso an email letting her know your intent. She can set you up with a working session page and let you know about any next steps.
