Summit 2013
OWASP Leaders,
Many of you assisted with, attended, or at least heard about the success of the 2011 OWASP Global Summit (Summit Report PDF) (Results wiki page). As 2011 draws to a close and the Global Conference Committee looks to the future, we are looking for a group of volunteers interested in forming the planning team for the next Global Summit which is projected for 2013.
For those that are not familiar with the 2011 Global Summit, here is a brief synopsis we used for promoting the event:
The 2011 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.
The 2011 OWASP Global Summit followed a similar model as the OWASP EU Summit 08 which also took place in Portugal and gathered over 80 application security experts from over 20 countries. A smaller Summit 2009 was organized together with the AppSec US conference.
The initial tasks for the 2013 Summit Planning Team will be sending out a call for venue proposals, developing an event budget, and reaching out to some of the various communities and companies that may be interested in participating. If you are interested in being part of the initial planning team - please email [email protected](alternatively Mark Bristow and [mailto: [email protected] Sarah Baso]), who will work with getting the planning team and organize a planning meeting for early 2012.
We look forward to hearing from you with your interest!
