Subject: [Global_conference_committee] Experience with UK Conference?
Do any of you have experience with conference in UK area?
We are looking to host our first conference for ISSA CISO Executive Forum
and possibly to partner.
We have a very active UK chapter, hence the decision to host in UK.
Likely we will partner, although that is a decision to be determined on best
way to approach and our UK chapter will be very involved in process and
decisions, plus our planning team for the European 2011 event.
Thank you so much for feedback!

>*General Thoughts*
>
>How do we better engage developers? How do we provide significant
>value to them and encourage them to come to conferences? We need to
>improve in this area to help further the OWASP mission.
>
>
>
>*Goals*
>
> 1. Have a Global Appsec in NA, SA, EU, Asia in 2011
> 2. Promote OWASP Projects/Initiatives at OWASP Conferences
> 3. Enhance Services for Conference Planners
> 4. Reach out to developers (have 20% of attendees in a dev position)
> 5. Reach out to non-members (have 70% of attendees at cons non-members)
> 6. Bring more into the fold (Generate 300 new/renewed members at
> conferences)
> 7. Streamline Sponsorships (Global Conference Sponsors, Targeted
> Conference Sponsors)
> 8. Revise GCC Governance
> 9. Have a profit of $200k in 2011 across all conferences
>
>
>
>*Policy Changes*
>
> - Change Conference Types to include:
> - OWASP Global AppSec Conferences (Currently AppSec Conferences)
> - OWASP AppSec Conferences (can only be used by global cons, and by
> conferences who have already used this name twice by the end of
>2011, moving
> forward, only new Global AppSecs can use this name)
> - OWASP Regional/Theme Conference (currently Regional, all regional
> cons will now have to have a unique theme, development, PHP,
Government,
> Browsers ?..)
> - GCC Member attendance at conferences Global AppSec and Regional/Theme
> level cons (as available by GCC members and budget)
> - GCC Member signature authority for OWASP (Leverage By-Lawys Article VI
> Section 1 - Designate as Agent)
> - Alleviate need of OWASP Board to sign contracts (currently a
> significant bottleneck)
> - All conference related contracts will be required to go through the
> GCC
> - In general will be responsibility of Chair, however all committee
> members shall be authorized to sign on conference business (no
>single point
> of failure)
> - GCC members will not be permitted to sign contracts for conferences
> they organize (except when signature is required immediately)
> - Requires Board Vote
> - All OWASP Branded events MUST use conference mgmt system to use brand
> (must be enforced)
> - See initiatives
> - It?s important to manage the schedule and enforce brand management
> - Any conference not registered & approved will receive no funds or
> support
> - All Global AppSec and Regional/Theme conferences must have OWASP Track
> - See Initiatives, joint venture with Projects Committee
>
>
>
>*Initiatives*
>
> - OWASP Conference management system (Goal 1, 3)
> - We need a system to take in applications for events, vett them,
> approve them, and schedule them. The current process of people
> emailing Kate, Me or the board is not acceptable with the number
>of events
> we have
> - I see this as critical to establishing control over the OWASP
> schedule and is a top priority
> - OWASP AppSec Track (Goal 2)
> - Partnership with projects committee
>
>o Have a cadre of speakers, ready to go with presentations about
OWASP
>projects/activities
>
>o Require all OWASP Regional and AppSec events to have an ?OWASP
>Track? of at least 6 presentations from this pool, managed, selected,
>and funded by the GCC and the GPC
>
> - OWASP Global Con Sponsors (Goal 3, 7)
> - Provide unified sponsorships for the Global AppSec Conferences
> - Split revenues among individual conferences budget
> - Streamlines our sponsorships
> - Does not interfere with existing conference sponsorships
> - Central conference support services (Goal 3)
> - Investigate for-hire international conference support companies
> - Investigate costs for hiring conference organizer
> - Get board approval
> - Conference Marketing (Goal 3)
> - OWASP Conference Twitter accounts

> - http://www.AppSecUS.org
> - http://www.AppSecEU.org
> - http://www.AppSecAsia.org
> - http://www.AppSecSA.org <http://www.appsecsa.org/>
> - If already owned by a conference, buy them out/transfer to GCC
> Control
> - GCC will re-direct to any hosting service once the conference
has
> been assigned
> - Conference can still register AppSecUS2011.org and we can just
> redirect as appropriate
> - Helps maintain consistency in URLs between years
> - Conference Twitter Accounts
> - Like domains, turned over to planners for their use as
> appropriate
> - @OWASPConfrences ? held by the GCC for announcements
> - @OWASPAppSec ? held by the GCC for announcements
> - @AppSecNA
> - @AppSecUS
> - @AppSecEU
> - @AppSecAsia
> - @AppSecSA
> - Use of Short URLS on the owasp.org website
> - ex https://owasp.org/AppSecBR points to the wiki page for this
> year?s conference
> - Regional Targeted Mailing Lists
> - To reduce OWASP All traffic
> - OWASP Merchandise Model(Goal 3, Goal9)
> - A shippable ?OWASP Store? with OWASP branded items for sale at
