2013 Chapters Workshop to be held at the Hotel Scandic in Hamburg on Wednesday afternoon, August 21th from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.

The chapter workshop will be a great learning opportunity for chapter leaders that have much experience as well as those who are new to their positions, or event looking to become a chapter leader in the future. In a style similar to the workshops held in the US, Latam, and AsiaPac over the past year, the Chapter Workshop at AppSec Research this year will be an interactive opportunity for lively discussion of the  guidelines and recommendations for chapter leaders as contained in the Chapter Leader’s Handbook. Additionally, we will look at what may be missing from the Chapter Leader Handbook and should be included or changed for the next version.

If you are interested in participating in either of these workshops, please register for the Conference and select the optional session “chapter leader’s workshop” as part of the registration process. Remember that conference attendance is free for current chapter and project leaders.

This is just a short introduction for giving you all the necessary input for making the most out of our OWASP conference: technical sessions, "hallway tracks", evening events, local stuff.

The OWASP Project Session is a 2 hour meeting and workshop that aims to bring together current and potential OWASP project leaders to discuss project related issues and topics. It is a forum that will be used to bring together project leaders from across the globe in an effort to have participants share valuable insights and recommendations with their fellow members. 
The meeting will be chaired by Simon Bennetts - OWASP ZAP Project leader and Abraham Aranguren: OWASP OWTF Project leader.
