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.

When You Need a Breather…

- 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.
