Re: Update: OWASP AppSec Europe 2005, April 9-10

["Dave Wichers" <dave.wichers () aspectsecurity com>]

I just wanted to mention that we can only accept discounted room 
reservations at Royal Holloway for the OWASP conference for another week or 
so as we have to pay in advance for the rooms. So, if you are planning to 
attend the conference and want to stay on campus at the discounted OWASP 
rate, you need to make your reservations soon before we are closed out.

The conference is now just one month away so please register soon.

Thanks and hope to see many of you there.

The following was announced previously but additional information about the
agenda and hotel information, including inexpensive rooms right at Royal
Holloway is now available on the OWASP site, as described below. Also, for
all questions about the conference, please contact me (Dave Wichers [now the
OWASP Conferences Chair]), rather than Jeff Williams (the OWASP Chair).

Dear Colleague,

OWASP is proud to announce its second Application Security Conference to be
held April 9-10 near London. The OWASP AppSec Europe 2005 Conference is just
a short 2 months away and since there's limited seating, be sure to register
early to reserve your seat and support the not-for-profit OWASP Foundation.
Check out the OWASP website at
http://www.owasp.org/conferences/appsec2005europe.html for all the details.

AppSec Europe 2005 is April 9-10 at Royal Holloway, University of London --
home of one of the best InfoSec programs in Europe and featured in the Da
Vinci Code. OWASP's AppSec conferences are dedicated to real-world
application security issues and solutions. You'll learn all aspects of
application security, including people, process, and technology
perspectives.

You'll hear presentations on topics like:

 - Web Services Security
 - .NET Security

By participating you'll have a direct opportunity to help shape and
influence the direction of OWASP in 2005.

REGISTRATION DETAILS: As a not-for-profit we have been able to keep the cost
to £150 (or $280) per seat which is significantly less than what most
conferences cost.
