The BASC will be a free, one day, informal conference, aimed at increasing awareness and knowledge of application security in the greater Boston area.

Application security professionals, professional software developers, software quality engineers, computer science students, and security software vendors should be able to come to the BASC, learn, and hopefully enjoy themselves at the same time.

Lonestar Application Security Conference (LASCON): October 21-24
The Lonestar Application Security Conference (LASCON) is an OWASP conference held annually in Austin, TX.

LASCON 2014, run by David Hughes(@Dav1dHugh3s) and the OWASP Austin crew, will be run in the same tradition as previous LASCON conferences featuring the best speakers, a close-knit community atmosphere and even our signature happy hour replete with a mechanical bull.

=The OWASP Brand= OWASP's philosophy is that achieving security involves all parts of an organization, including people, process, and technology. We support the use of our brand consistent with this philosophy. However, we cannot allow the use of our brand when it implies something inconsistent with OWASP's comprehensive and balanced approach to application security. Therefore, we have defined these brand usage rules to clarify appropriate and inappropriate uses of the OWASP brand, including our name, domain, logos, project names, and other trademarks. The Brand Guidelines document can be found on the Brand Resources page.

Below is a copy of the OWASP Logo for official use. More logos can also be found on the Brand Resources page, as well as materials useful for promoting OWASP.
