With RSA rapidly approaching and the looming specter of COVID lifting, attendance is expected to be back to pre-pandemic levels. Along with the conference itself, many will attend a variety of parties that will be thrown — all in an effort to reconnect with colleagues, meet new people, and unwind. I know Josh Swarz and I are ready for all of the above.
RSA has gone so far as to provide an ‘Unofficial List of RSA Conference and Vendor Parties’ and create a Twitter handle — @RSACParties — to follow. Both are updated regularly.
To date, there are more than 40 parties scheduled. Below are a handful of those that tickled my fancy (Please note these are not endorsements; there may be a cost, you may need to register, and this is not an indication that I will be attending).
