Dear OWASP Leaders and appsec community,
The Summit will be held February 8th-11th at CampoReal Resort in central Oeste Portugal, 38 km north of Lisbon and 18 km inland from the Atlantic Ocean. This will be the place where appsec experts meet, discuss, work, socialize, and set the roadmap for OWASP in coming years.

The Summit Activates *You*
Whereas the OWASP AppSec conferences are great places to listen to interesting talks, go for training, and meet with OWASP people, the Global Summit is the place where we all sit down together and take the time to discuss and work out plans, projects and solutions for the appsec future.

Examples of topics:


 * How should we support the OWASP projects?
 * How can we work with browser vendors to enhance security (see "Browser Day" tab above)?
 * How should the community reach out to developers and education institutions?
 * How often should we publish the OWASP Top 10?
 * How can OWASP support your chapter?
