Sponsors
We would like to thank Travelers Insurancefor their generous sponsorship and helping make application security visible...

If you would like to sponsor either the food and/or door prizes for an upcoming meeting, please email [mailto:james.mcgovern@owasp.org James McGovern] with your proposal. Independent of any financial considerations, sponsorship priority is driven by those who drive participation in OWASP to their employees and customers.

Call for Sponsors/Speakers
This is a call for speakers/papers. If we haven't approached you, but you believe you have a significant discovery or new research that the security community would value, or enjoy hearing about, we invite you to submit your presentation topic for serious consideration. Preference will be given to speakers who can present new and innovative technical content to a broad audience. Of course, all presentations are expected to challenge the brightest and quickest of attendees - we wouldn't have it any other way.

OWASP is not a vendor fair. Consequently, there will be very little tolerance for commercial content within presentations. Attendees will be encouraged to quell any shameless marketing that is not immediately backed up with rationale for its inclusion.

Some topics of interest for upcoming meetings include (but are not limited to):
 * Risk Rating Methodologies
 * Breaking CAPTCHA
 * Internet of Things (IOT) Security
 * Hacking Medical Devices
