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. As ticket prizes are subsidized by sponsors (anybody still interested? http://is.gd/QY8PT2), thus entry fees are low (excl. VAT): * 350 EUR€ (ISACA/ISC2/OWASP member) * 420 EUR normal prize 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 de facto standards body for web application and software security by providing free, vendor‐neutral, practical, cost‐effective application security guidelines. cu, Dirk -- German OWASP Board, Conference Chair AppSec EU 2013 http://appsec.eu/ | @appseceu
