It's that time of year again! Time to make the annual pilgrimage to San Francisco, CA, for the RSA US conference (or, as I like to term it, "old home week"). RSA is the preeminent security function each year. It's by far larger than any of the others, and where you're most likely to run into... well, just about anyone in the industry!
On the (very) off chance that you're interested, here's where you can find me throughout my west coast visit:
- Fri (2/24): Arriving into San Francisco mid-afternoon. The evening is free, in case you're local or in early and want to hang out. Nothing crazy or too late...
- Sat/Sun (2/25-26): I'll be at the annual pre-RSA ABA InfoSec Committee meeting, including speaking Sunday morning on "risk management." I'll also likely be checking into the conference Sunday afternoon (at Moscone) and from there... who knows?
- Mon (2/27): Cloud Security Alliance Summit in the AM, Innovation Sandbox and Exhibition Hall reception in the PM, followed by the "2012 Security Sociability Happy Hour."
- Tues (2/28): I'll be around the conference, in a couple mtgs, etc., during the day. If you're involved with appsec initiatives at all, then check out the WhiteHat Security cocktail party in the evening. I'll also be attending the speakers' dinner, among other things.
- Wed (2/29): Leap year! :) I'll be around the conference, in a couple mtgs, etc., during the day. Wednesday night is, of course, reception/party central. For appsec folks, check out the annual WASC lunch party. Follow @rsaparties on twitter, or check out their calendar for more info.
- Thurs (3/1): The longest day! ;) Normally I would start my day at the annual Disaster Recovery Breakfast. Unfortunately, this year that will have to wait until after my 8am panel. Catch me for the "LAW-301 - Hot Topics in Information Security Law 2012" panel first thing Thursday morning. After that, I'll likely head to Jillian's, then back to Moscone for a mtg or two, followed by my second session of the day, co-presenting with David Willson in "STAR-304 - Legal & Ethical Considerations of Offensive Cyber-Operations?". After that I'll be off to a special 4-hour P2P session on risk management, then off to the nearby Ralph Gracie Academy for the annual security smackdown BJJ roll! :)
- Fri (3/2): Chill, recover, wrap-up, misc mtgs as appropriate.
Want to meet-up at some point? Please leave a comment here, email me, or hit me on twitter. Or, hang out at the W and you'll likely run into me eventually. ;)
