One day at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.
Thursday, May 20, 2027. Doors open 8:30am with registration and arrival coffee; the program runs to networking drinks from 3:40pm and the event closes at 4:45pm.
Hilton San Francisco Union Square, 333 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, CA 94102 — in the heart of Union Square, two blocks from Powell Street BART and Muni. The West Coast's biggest dedicated application security event puts 150+ application security practitioners in one room for one focused day.
Free for practitioners. Curated for seniority.
AppSec World keeps the room senior and practitioner-led. Passes for application security, product security and engineering practitioners are complimentary, and every application is reviewed so the peer group stays worth your day. Vendors and service providers join as partners rather than delegates.
Good to know.
Who attends?
CISOs, Heads of Application and Product Security, security architects and the engineers who own AppSec programs and platforms. 150+ attendees from 90+ organizations.
What does a pass cost?
Practitioner passes are complimentary. Attendance is curated, so every registration is reviewed before it is confirmed.
I’m a vendor — can I attend?
Vendors and service providers join through the partner programme, which includes speaking, roundtable and 1:1 meeting formats. See the Partnership page.
What is the dress code?
Business casual. No lanyard-and-suit requirement — come as you would to a senior peer meeting.
Are sessions recorded?
Roundtables run as closed-room conversations. For keynote and panel materials, speak to the team after the event.
Can I bring a colleague?
Often, yes — seats are limited but additional practitioners from the same team are welcome to apply through registration.
