7 years ago, Farshad Abasi and I talked about holding an AppSec conference in Vancouver and we talked about transforming Vancouver into an Application Security hub. It has been a wild ride, but Vancouver is slowly becoming a powerhouse in the Security space and we have a many great Application Security practitioners. This past weekend, we hosted nearly 300 people for our very first Application Security conference and it was amazing. We had a number of great talks and workshops and the speakers literally came from all around the world to speak at our conference. I wanted to thank the organizers, speakers, sponsors and the countless volunteers that helped put this event together. A special shout out to Farshad Abasi, Dana Epp, Brian M., Keri Kusznir, Kendra Ash, Ben Gibbs, Manoj Prasad, Roberto Salgado and Bhawandeep Kambo for being a part of the organizing committee and their hard work for the past year to make this event a success. Thank you to our main speakers E Coleen and Jason Haddix. A special thank you to Tanya Janca and Brandon Wu that stepped up last minute when we had workshop challenges. Finally a special thank you to our sponsors Deepfactor, Endor Labs, EdgeBit, OX Security, GitHub, Websec, Kodem, IriusRisk, Eureka DevSecOps, Apiiro, PentesterLab, HackerOne and Qwiet AI. There are so, so, so many more folks to thank. Thank you all, we couldn't have done this without you. See you all in Seattle next year!

Easy to say it was one of the best conf I've been to in a while.. Really hit a sweet spot of size, content, people and flow. Thank you!

4wIt was my first conference and as some others mentioned the size was perfect for me as a first timer. It felt easier to connect with people and get to know the speakers. The content was great and I learned a lot. It was nice to see the volunteers were able to enjoy it too. Great work and thanks so much for making it happen. 👏👏👏🫶
