OWASP Foundation - 2024 Global AppSec Lisbon CfT
owasp.submittable.comINTRODUCTION
Application Security leaders, software engineers, and researchers from all over the world gather at Global AppSec conferences to drive visibility and evolution in the safety and security of the world’s software, as well as to network, collaborate, and share the newest innovations in the field. The training will take place on June 24-26, 2024, at the Lisbon Congress Centre.
CALL FOR TRAINERS (CfT) & SUBMISSION
The Program Team is formally issuing a call for Trainers, opening December 8, 2023.
As with previous Global AppSec events, we would like to run a number of different training courses of varying lengths over several days surrounding the conference.
Trainers can apply to give 1, 2 or 3-day classes. Trainers are allowed to make multiple applications, one application per class. The training audience will include developers interested in security as well as security professionals. We will select only the best submission.
We are looking for training courses at all levels, from someone new to the application security field to advanced topics for experienced professionals. However, all training submissions should focus on practical skills which are immediately applicable to an attendee’s job and have a significant hands-on element with tasks and exercises for attendees to attempt during the training. Our main priority for selecting trainings for this event is useful, practical information that will be valuable for our target audience. Even if this training has been offered before, as long as there is fresh and up to date content.
