The conference will be held from August 22-23, 2013 (trainings from August 20-21) at the Emporio
Hamburg. It's centrally located in the heart of the city with a splendid view over Binnen-,
Aussenalster
and River Elbe.

trainings come extra.

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a global open project composed of individuals,
educational organizations and supporting corporations from around the world. OWASP has quickly become
the defacto standards body for web application and software security by providing free, vendor‐neutral,
practical, cost‐effective application security guidelines.
