🎤 Call for Speakers: OWASP Ottawa Monthly Meetups 🎤

OWASP Ottawa is actively looking for speakers to present at our monthly meetups, and we warmly encourage first-time and beginner speakers to apply. Our chapter typically meets on the third Wednesday of each month.

If you’re passionate about cybersecurity and enjoy sharing knowledge, we’d love to hear from you.

📌 What speakers should know:
• OWASP Ottawa is a vendor-neutral, open-source community focused on improving software security.
• We are also open to speakers who wish to present cybersecurity-focussed talks that are not related to software security.
• However, all talks must be strictly non-commercial.
• Presentations should focus on education, research, open-source tools, or community benefit.
• Talks must not be used to promote products, services, or sales activities.
Company or tool references are allowed only when needed for technical context, not endorsement.

🕰️ Talk formats:
15, 30, or 50 minutes - your choice.

If you’ve been thinking about speaking but weren’t sure where to start, OWASP Ottawa is a supportive and inclusive place to share your ideas.

OWASP Ottawa Talk Submission Form

Thank you for considering to speak at one of our meetups. OWASP Ottawa typically meets on the third Wednesday of each month with occasional workshops on weekends. OWASP Ottawa is a vendor-neutral, open-source community committed to improving the security of software. To maintain our community’s integrity and uphold our mission, all presentations delivered at OWASP Chapter events must be strictly non-commercial in nature. Presenters must not use their session to promote commercial products, services, or sales activities. Talks should focus on education, community benefit, open-source tools, or research, and not on marketing or lead generation. References to company names or tools should be made only when necessary for technical context, and not as endorsements. A slide explaining your organization, its history, and its contributions to security and community outreach (such as speaking to our chapter) is permissible.
