Category:OWASP AppSec Conference

About
The OWASP AppSec conference series is dedicated to bringing together industry, government, and security researchers to discuss the state of the art in application security. This series was launched in the U.S. in the Fall of 2004 and in Europe in the Spring of 2005. All of the presentations from our previous conferences can be downloaded from the agenda pages for each conference.

More information about conference sponsorship is available here.
