2010 BASC Request For Sponsors

On November 20, 2010 OWASP Boston launches the inaugural Boston Application Security Conference 2010 (2010 BASC) to take place at Microsoft New England Research and Development Center (NERD) in Cambridge, MA. The BASC is a one day, informal conference, aimed at increasing awareness and knowledge of application security. Many of the presentations will cover state-of-the-art application security concepts. The BASC is intended to appeal to a wide-array of attendees and is expected to attract over 150 attendees. Application security professionals, professional software developers, software quality engineers, computer science students, and security software vendors should be able to come to the BASC, learn, and hopefully enjoy themselves at the same time expand upon their application security knowledge and become better application security practitioners. We are pleased to announce that Josh Corman, renown 451 Group Security Analyst and evangelist and co-founder of Rugged Software is our confirmed keynote speaker for the 2010 BASC.

We invite potential sponsors to partner with us on two levels: $700.00 PLATINUM Level and $500.00 GOLD level. Gold level sponsorship includes a standard logo listing in program guide and event site and a table. We are seeking three Platinum sponsors to cover breakfast, lunch times and “happy hour” timeslots. Platinum sponsors benefits include premium signage (large logo listing in program and event site), table and additional credit/special mention in our program guide. There are 8 maximum sponsorships in all. 'OWASP Boston’s non-profit status means all sponsorships are tax-deductible. OWASP Boston is a 501(c)(3) organization.' An extra benefit for sponsors is permanent brand presence on the BASC website alongside slides and, in some cases, video links of the conference presentation. Post-conference traffic to the BASC site means continued exposure for our sponsors.

Update: All 2010 BASC platinum sponsorships have been taken. Gold sponsorships are still available. See current 2010 BASC Sponsors.

If you wish to sponsor this event or get more information about being a sponsor, please feel free to [mailto:basc-sponsors@onestopappsecurity.com email us]. 25% of all sponsorships monies go to supporting OWASP.org. As you consider sponsorship of BASC 2010, we encourage you to  become corporate member (if not one currently) of OWASP  to further the organization’s efforts to improve the global application security landscape.
