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 3 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.html for all 
the emerging details.

You'll hear great speakers like:

- Denis Verdon (Head of CISG, Fidelity National Financial)

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:

 - OWASP Status, Direction, and new Projects
 - Web Application Testing Tools and Techniques
 - Code Reviews
 - Application Security in Large Organizations
 - .NET, Java, and LAMP Security
 - Web Application Intrusion Detection
 - Software Security Metrics
 - Lessons Learned in the Trenches

There will also be panel discussions on the important issues led by 
corporate application security practitioners. We will post a full agenda as 
soon as it is finalized. By participating you'll have a direct opportunity 
to help shape and influence the direction of OWASP in 2005.
