CALL FOR TRAINERS (CfT) & SUBMISSION

Trainers can apply to give courses during any of the events. Trainers are allowed to make multiple submissions. We will not be repeating training courses between events. The training audience will include developers interested in security as well as security professionals.

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 that are immediately applicable to an attendee’s job. Training submissions should have a significant hands-on element with tasks and exercises for attendees to attempt during the training.

It is highly encouraged for trainers to have previous virtual training experience.

Be sure to submit today and read more about the events here.
