OWASP St Louis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s time for the 2nd meeting of the OWASP St. Louis Chapter. Since  
the first meeting, there have been a number of additional people in  
the St. Louis area expressing interest in attending the meetings. As  
we move forward with web application awareness, it is appropriate to  
hear from industry leader, Jeremy Poteet, on the subject. After the  
presentation, future chapter meeting topics and overall direction  
will be discussed.

Who Should Attend - anyone interested in Web Application Security  
(management, security architects, developers, etc). Whether you are a  
developer of web sites, manage development teams, responsible for  
securing your network’s firewalls and IDS systems and wondering where  
the next threats will be, or just interested in learning more about  
the topic, this is the meeting for you to learn and network.

This meeting is open to the public and admission/parking is free.
You must RSVP to attend this event. Please RSVP to
