Security News > 2022 > June > Threat and risk specialists signal post-COVID conference season is back on

For the first time in over two years the streets of San Francisco have been filled by attendees at the RSA Conference and it seems that the days of physical cons are back on.

The security conference trade has been more cautious than most when it comes to getting conferences back up to speed in the COVID years.

The RSA conference has been going for over 30 years and many security folks love going.

So this year's RSA conference was a bit of a test case.

The organizers reported over 26,000 attendees, down on the 36,000 who attended in 2020 but not bad after two years of COVID. Full disclosure: this hack has been going to them for over 15 years, caught COVID at the 2020 event and skipped this year's shindig since my better half caught the virus last weekend.

RSA last year was fully virtual, but this year there was a new twist.
