The German OWASP Day 2025 is an application security conference with presentations on secure development, operation and testing as well as organization in the environment of web-based applications. Interdisciplinary, non-technical topics are also presented.
Presentations in in English are welcome, also if for a bigger part the audience is German-speaking. Our audience are developers (“builders”), security testers (“breakers”), people who defend apps in different aspects (“defenders”), IT security managers -- in essence: the classic “security crowd”.
At OWASP conferences the presentations are vendor-neutral and without marketing. We offer vendors and service providers a suitable marketing platform as part of our sponsorship.
CfP closes: August 24, 2025
Notification to submitters by September 10, 2025
Conference: November 26, 2025
We accept submissions exclusively online via Easychair. Please provide all relevant information:
A detailed submission will help the program committee to make a good decision, see below.
For presentation proposals we ask for a short abstract and, if available, a preliminary version of the presentation.
The abstract should not be less than 600 characters long. Please pay attention to spelling in all information you provide, as both will appear in the program as is.
Presentations are expected to last 20 or 40 minutes, plus 5 minutes of discussion. A preference on the length must be stated in the CfP.
All topics related to application security are welcome, in particular:
The slides of the talks will be published under a free license on the conference website after the conference.
In addition, all talks will be recorded and published on the YouTube channel of the German OWASP Chapter and/or CCC's media web site.
There may be even live streaming of presentations.
If you do not wish to be recorded and/or live streamed, please indicate this in the comments section of your submission. The videos will be available under a free
license. The default is CC BY-SA 4.0, unless you request a different one.
Please choose either German or English as your presentation language. Please use the language you are fluent in.
The OWASP speaker agreement applies to all submitters.
In a nutshell: Please do not use a company slide deck, but a neutral one or one from OWASP. Company name and logo are welcome on one slide.
Please no “marketing pitches”; neither on the slides nor verbally. The slides must not contain any non-free content.
OWASP assumes no responsibility for compliance with respect to rights of third parties.
