Step 2: Next, we recommend reading through the Health & Safety Hub on the RSAC Conference website to familiarize yourself with the safety protocols and resources we have available. Our community's wellbeing is extremely important to us, and our goal is to host a safe and rewarding Conference. Weapons detection screening will be located at all entrances to Moscone and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA).

Step 3: Familiarize yourself with the Conference hours, agenda, and campus maps. We recommend adding sessions to your schedule and reserving a seat for keynotes that will likely fill up quickly. You should also walk around and explore the campus maps to help plan out your week.

Step 4: Explore the city! San Francisco is such an iconic city, and to help make the most of your week here we put together a list of attractions and restaurants to check out. You can also ask our staff at the information booth for café/restaurant recommendations around Moscone Center and YBCA.

We are excited to welcome everyone to RSAC 2026 Conference and hope you have a great week! Here are a few sessions we recommend checking out tomorrow:

• Once again, the 2026 RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox Contest will spotlight ten of cybersecurity’s most promising innovators as they compete for the coveted “Most Innovative Startup” title, each delivering fast-paced pitches on their groundbreaking products and solutions. 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM at Moscone South – Room 205.
• As AI-powered threats evolve, security must become ambient, autonomous, and embedded across every layer of the enterprise. Join Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Security, as she explores how organizations can build trust with agentic AI platforms that detect, defend, and self-heal in Ambient and Autonomous Security: Building Trust in the Agentic AI Era. 3:55 PM – 4:15 PM at Moscone West Street Level.
• The rise of AI agents operating at machine speed and scale is reshaping the very foundations of security architecture. In Reimagining Security for the Agentic Workforce, explore why the agentic era demands a new model for governance, trust, access, and accountability with Cisco President and CPO, Jeetu Patel. 4:15 PM – 4:35 PM at Moscone West Street Level.
• Activate Industry!: Moving Beyond Defense to Disruption and Active Defense challenges the idea that passive defense alone is enough. As adversaries scale increasingly sophisticated AI-driven attacks, this session explores how organizations can take a more proactive stance—disrupting threat actors and imposing real costs on their operations, with insights from Google Security’s VP, Google Threat Intelligence, Sandra Joyce. 4:35 PM – 4:55 PM at Moscone West Street Level.

And don’t forget to visit the Welcome Reception to kick off the Expo Floor festivities on Monday (5 – 7 PM).

Finally, we encourage All Access Pass holders to take advantage of the brand new RSAC™ Connection Hub. In response to attendee feedback, the Hub was created to offer more ways to meet peers, exchange ideas, spark meaningful conversations, and unwind in a relaxed setting.

Get hands-on and have fun with interactive Bingo challenges, create your own LEGO® self-portrait to take home, and explore rotating Village experiences. You can also visit the 35-year RSAC™ Conference Museum and join affinity networking meetups for informal, drop-in moments to find your community.

Welcome to San Francisco, and we hope you have a great week!
