REGISTRATION

How do I register for the Software Security Summit?

You can register for the conference by either using the link from the conference site  or going directly to the registration site. When you register, you will be asked to provide both an e-mail address and a password.

Can I register more than one person at a time?

Yes, you can do a group registration with our system. If you have several people to register this is the quickest option, and will facilitate billing for all of you on one invoice.

• Enter the email address of the first person. This will be the "Primary Attendee". All correspondence from the Conference organizers will go through this person. Changes to any attendee need to go through this person.
• Click on the option that says you will be entering more than one person.
• Enter all information for the first attendee and hit enter.

Can I go back into my registration and select classes?

Will you have a printout of my class selections for me at the conference?

No, please bring a printout of your class selections with you to the conference.

How can I print out my class selections?

If you have already selected your classes, we suggest that you print out a record of your selections. You’ll find this information helpful when you are on-site.
