Overview
What is the theme for the 2020 RSA Conference?
With all the new technologies, strategies and artificial intelligence being employed by both security pros and threat actors, one thing remains constant: us. We are the Human Element within cybersecurity. That’s what joins us together. For some of us, it’s a higher calling that brought us to this profession. For others, it’s a gradual realization that the actions we take can affect every aspect of humanity. We’re the ones on the front lines, protecting not just data, but our most vulnerable people and every aspect of our lives—from election hacking to the weaponization of social media. We’re the ones making the hard decisions about privacy, ethics, usability, and responsibility, and how to ensure doors remain open for everyone. The goal of RSA Conference is to help the industry mature while preparing individuals to grow into their roles as defenders of the world. When we recognize that cybersecurity is, fundamentally, about people protecting people, the world becomes a better, more secure place.

What to Bring
- Business Cards – You’ll inevitably meet people that you’d like to follow-up with. Even in 2020, it’s convenient to hand someone all your contact info.
- Hand Sanitizer and Disinfecting Wipes – You’ll want to minimize the risk of catching any viruses or the flu. Your fellow conference-goers will thank you for doing so!
- A Good Pen – You’ll want to make notes in sessions, and the cheap pens at conferences are notoriously bad.
- Chargers – When you’re in sessions followed by parties, there’s little time to plug in and charge your phone. Power banks are key.
- Headphones – You’ll probably need to make a few phone calls, and the crowd is loud. If you have decent headphones with a microphone, you can drown out a lot of background noise.
- Snacks – Whether it’s due to the time difference, the constant walking, or a combination, it’s likely you’ll be hungry at a time where food is not available. A Quest Bar or some nuts come in very handy!
- Sneakers – Expect to walk a lot, and make sure your feet are taken care of.
- Fitbit/Step Counter – If you count your daily steps, make sure you do that during the show.
