First-Timer Programs

Start by signing up for the Know Before You Go webcast. Filled with tips and must-have logistics information, this will get you off on the right foot before you even arrive at Conference. And when you do get to San Francisco, all First-Timers with a Full Conference Pass will receive a special pin when you check in onsite. This pin will help RSAC staff better assist you.
Pin in hand, Monday kicks off with a special First-Timers Orientation and Networking Reception from 4:00 – 5:00 PM in Moscone West 2005. This event is open to Full Conference Pass holders and features a 30-minute presentation focused on session tips followed by a 30-minute networking reception with light refreshments.
Orientation presenters include:
- Linda Gray Martin, Sr. Director & General Manager, RSA Conference
- Kacy Zurkus, Content Specialist, RSA Conference
- Diana Kelley, Cybersecurity Field CTO, Microsoft
- Aaron Turner, CEO, Hotshot Technologies
- David Martin, VP, Global Threat & Incident Management at ADP
As for the rest of the week, on Wednesday and Thursday, Full Conference Pass First-Timers will start the day with a meet-up in Moscone West 2018 Overlook from 7:00 – 8:00 AM. So grab your complimentary breakfast and enjoy this time to regroup, share takeaways and, of course, caffeinate.
Make sure you add all of these programs to your schedule:
- Know Before You Go webcast
- First-Timers Orientation and Networking Reception
- Wednesday and Thursday Morning Meet-Ups
With all that extra knowledge and guidance, you’re sure to have a great Conference—hopefully, the first of many.
