We are doing our best to make this conference a truly excellent experience at every level."

"We are honored and privileged to have Jeff Williams," Zaw continues, "as a keynote speaker and to kick off the conference. As Chairman of OWASP, Jeff should need no introduction, and we are thankful for his vision and drive that have propelled OWASP and application security to this level of recognition in the security and IT industries.
"We are extremely excited to have Bill Cheswick to be a keynote speaker. Ches is a well known security researcher with AT&T Research and his book Firewalls and Internet Security has been influential to many security practitioners, including myself. We can't wait to hear Ches's thoughts on application security."

Cassio Goldschmidt, Co-Chair of Conference Organizing Committee and OWASP Los Angeles Chapter board member says "we are very excited to have David Rice as one of our keynotes. Rice is a dynamic speaker and an internationally recognized information security professional. Rice made significant contributions to advance the security of our nation's critical infrastructure as well as to promote awareness of the true cost of insecure software with his highly acclaimed book Geekonomics."

"Widely acclaimed for his creativity and technical skills," Goldschmidt continues, "HD Moore brings a distinctive perspective to the AppSec audience as a keynote speaker. HD's best known contribution to the security community is the Metasploit Project, an open-source project which can be used to find vulnerabilities in computer systems in order to protect or exploit them."

Richard Greenberg, Co-Chair of Conference Organizing Committee and OWASP Los Angeles Chapter board member says: "Web Application security is undoubtedly the focus of the vast majority of attacks and vulnerability studies, and the major battleground for security in the foreseeable future. I strongly encourage your participation, but I am also requesting that you please help spread the word about this important and exciting event."

Neil Matatall, Co-Chair of Conference Organizing Committee and OWASP Orange County Chapter Leader, notes that "Irvine is a great location for this type of conference. Southern California is beautiful year-round and the UC Irvine Campus is exceptional. The Irvine campus offers famous architecture, a large park, art, and modern facilities in a nice environment.
