🧭 Understanding the Layout

RSA is massive, but here’s how it’s generally structured:

  • Moscone West – Keynotes, talks, registration

  • Moscone North & South – Expo Halls (a.k.a. the tech playground)

  • Innovation Sandbox – Usually held at Moscone South or nearby Marriott Marquis (check schedule)
  • Early Stage Expo – Where the freshest startups are!
  • Workshops & Trainings – Scattered around the Moscone buildings and partner hotels nearby

🗓️ Must-Do Highlights for First-Timers

✅ Innovation Sandbox – This is where the future of cybersecurity gets born. Ten early-stage startups pitch live—don’t miss it.

✅ Expo Hall Exploration – From big players like Palo Alto and Cisco to rising stars like Lineaje and HoundDog.ai, the floor is a goldmine of tech demos and networking.

✅ Learning Labs & Hackathons – Hands-on and interactive sessions you can actually participate in.

✅ Keynotes – Industry legends and surprise guests share big-picture visions and security wisdom.

✅ Networking Lounges + Coffee Spots – Great for spontaneous chats, interviews, or just a moment to recharge.

🛍️ Swag, Snacks, and Giveaways

Let’s be honest-you’ll leave RSA with more than just insights.

🎁 T-shirts, Yubikeys, socks, flashlights, and yes-some booths offer Apple AirTags and drones in raffles.

🍪 Booths often have coffee, cookies, protein bars-take a stroll when you need a pick-me-up.

🧳 Final First-Timer Tips

  • 👟 Wear comfy shoes – You’ll be walking a lot.
  • 🔌 Carry a power bank – Wi-Fi is strong, battery life is weak.
  • 🎯 Set 3 daily goals – E.g. visit 5 booths, attend 1 session, meet 2 new people.
  • 🤝 Don’t be shy – People are friendly and curious, just like you.
  • 🧘 Take breaks – Rooftop lounges and cafes nearby are great to decompress.
