Time and Location
The OWASP Israel 2008 conference was held on September 14th at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya. The agenda of the full day two track event can be found below.

Registration
The conference is free and open to all, but please register by sending an e-mail to me at ofer@shezaf.com. We need to know how many people will arrive in order to be prepared.

Call for participation
Being a community event, we are staring a call for involvement, which means it is the time to speak up if you want to:


 * Turbo Talk (Rump) Session - a new feature in this conference, consisting of a series of 5-minute talks.
 * The deadline for submissions for the rump session is Monday, September 8, 2008.


 * Call for sponsors
 * Help in organizing
 * Otherwise participate (plenty of time for that, but if you know you will come, speak up)

This is also a good time to raise other ideas you have regarding the conference. Many of you have been to previous conferences and have great ideas, so don't be shy and speak up.

Agenda
The CFP is underway and the program would be published by mid August.
