Your Guide to RSAC Conference 2025: Food, Fun, and Formula 1 Lego Set

It’s that time of year – the biggest swag fest in cybersecurity is just around the corner.  Here’s a tip for first-timers heading to the city by the bay – don’t wear shoes you don’t mind throwing away before heading home.  Don’t worry, by the end of your first foray into the legendary RSAC, you’ll know which hotels between Union Square and Moscone provide a place to sit, get a drink, or find a bathroom for a quick pit stop. 

To make your trip smoother we’ve put together a curated guide to help you get the most out of your time in San Francisco. From lunch spots to local highlights, plus why you should absolutely swing by the Nucleus booth, we’ve got you covered.

We’ll be front and center at Booth #N4218 in the North Expo Hall, and we’re doing more than just talking shop. Stop by to:

Don’t Miss These Networking Events 

Some of the best insights—and partnerships—are born over coffee or cocktails. Make time for these: 

• Affiliate Events: These events are hosted across the city by RSA partners and vendors, offering a great way to unwind and connect.

When You Need a Breather… 

Let’s face it: RSAC can be intense. When you need to reset, recharge, or just take a quiet moment, here’s what we recommend: 

• Head outside and stretch your legs in Yerba Buena Gardens, right next to Moscone. 
• Grab a craft coffee at Blue Bottle, Verve, or Sightglass—you’ll find these sprinkled all around downtown. 
• Stop by our booth. No really—between the conversations, swag, and Lego sets, it might just be the break you didn’t know you needed.
