We are pleased to announce the thirteenth OWASP New Zealand Day conference, to be held at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) on Thursday and Friday, 35-6 September 2024. The OWASP New Zealand Day conference, hosted by the OWASP New Zealand Chapter and presented by AppSec New Zealand, is a two-day conference dedicated to application security, with an emphasis on secure architecture and development techniques to help Kiwi developers build more secure applications.
Pre-conference training for the OWASP New Zealand Day conference will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, 3-4 September 2024. We welcome proposals from prospective trainers, for half-day, one-day, or two-day training classes. Training may be proposed in one of three formats: in-person, instructor-remote, or fully online. Please note, however, that preference will be given to in-person training, when multiple proposals are submitted in the same topic area.
