This joint OWASP and WWCode meetup will highlight the successes of women in the tech & security community, how to get into cyber security, and why you should care. There will be a range of talks from professionals within the industry who have come from all over Europe to attend AppSec EU, and a chance to rub shoulders with the big names in the industry.

We hope to see you all there! Refreshments will be provided.
