OWASP NYC AppSec 2008 Conference

= 2008 OWASP USA, NYC = Last Update: // OWASP Foundation is excited to announce a change of venue for our NYC AppSec 2008 Conference as of 9/11/2008 from downtown NYC to midtown. This was required due to the growing size of the conference and space limitations at our former venue. The prestigious Park Central New York Hotel (www.parkcentralny.com) will now host the largest OWASP AppSec Conference on record. Centrally located in the heart of New York City, this landmark choice of Midtown Manhattan hotels is just blocks from the Theater District, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and numerous fine restaurants. Relocation to this modern venue enables OWASP to offer conference attendees additional seating space, onsite accommodations, and access to the best of what New York City has to offer. http://www.owasp.org/images/6/61/Banner2_irfan.jpg Scroll down to see event agenda and training options This conference has tracks for management, security, audit and development professionals interested in the state of the appsec industry and its trends.
