Call for Presentations & Community Trainings


The German OWASP Day 2026 is a security conference focused on expert talks covering secure development, operations, testing, and organizational aspects related to web-based applications. Cross-disciplinary and non-technical topics are also encouraged. The conference is primarily intended for a German-speaking audience, though English presentations are welcome.

At this year's German OWASP day we'd again like to offer a few half day workshops (3-4 hours) for the community.
