2010 BASC Request For Sponsors

On November 20, 2010 OWASP Boston (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Boston) launches the inaugural Boston Application Security Conference 2010 (BASC 2010) (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Boston_Application_Security_Conference) to take place Microsoft New England Research and Development Center (NERD http://microsoftcambridge.com/Default.aspx) in Cambridge, MA. The BASC will is a one day, informal conference, aimed at increasing awareness and knowledge of application security. Many of the presentations will cover state-of-the-art application security concepts. The BASC is intended to appeal to a wide-array of attendees and is expected to attract over 150 attendees. 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 expand upon their application security knowledge and become better application security practitioners.
