Frequently Asked Questions

When does RSA Conference sell out hotels?

RSA is the largest cybersecurity conference globally — 44,000+ attendees. The Marriott Marquis and other Moscone-adjacent hotels sell out 3–5 months in advance. Book as soon as registration opens.

Is RSA Conference the same as DEF CON?

No. RSA Conference is a vendor-heavy enterprise security event with keynotes and an expo floor. DEF CON is a hacker community conference in Las Vegas in August. Black Hat splits the difference. RSA is business/enterprise; DEF CON is practitioner/research.

How do I get from SFO to Moscone?

BART from SFO to Powell St or Montgomery St takes about 30 minutes and costs ~$10. Walk 10–15 minutes to Moscone, or take a Lyft for $15–20.
