ALERT OWASP 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.

The conference offers tracks for management, security, audit and development professionals interested in the state of the appsec industry and its trends. Presented by some of the brightest people in the industry, this event is a must attend for anyone looking to improve their information security posture and threat awareness. With assistance from: WASC, NYM InfraGard, AITGlobal, NYC PHP, NYCBUG, NYC ISACA and NYC ISSA and our sponsors you are invited to (2) days of hardcore hands-on training and (2) full days of Seminars and Technology Pavilion from the world's best application security technology minds, all held in the New York City, Midtown.

When: Sept 22nd - 25th 2008
