RSAC Conference 2027 is the next edition of the long-running RSAC Conference series, one of the best-known gatherings in the cybersecurity calendar. It draws security professionals from across the industry, including practitioners, researchers, security leaders and vendors, to discuss the state of information security and the threats organisations face. The 2027 conference is listed as an in-person event in San Francisco, California, running from 5 to 8 April 2027. Full programme details, venue information and registration options are published on the official RSAC Conference website as they become available. Across its multi-day format, the conference typically combines keynotes, technical sessions and an exhibition floor, giving attendees a broad view of current cybersecurity research, products and practice in one place. Topics generally span areas such as threat intelligence, cloud and application security, identity, governance and risk, and the human side of defence. Beyond the sessions, the scale of the event makes it a major networking opportunity for people building, buying and running security programmes. For the cybersecurity community, RSAC Conference remains an annual reference point where trends are debated and many industry conversations for the year ahead take shape.

Early April brings San Francisco's clearest stretch of the year, after the winter rains and before the summer fog settles over the western hills. For its week the security industry effectively occupies SoMa, filling Moscone and every surrounding hotel, with side events running across the district from breakfast until late. The scale is such that restaurant reservations and rooms across the whole downtown tighten well in advance.
San Francisco International (SFO) links to SoMa by BART in around 30 minutes, arriving within a few blocks of the venues. Oakland (OAK) connects via a BART shuttle. Within the city, Muni, the F-line streetcar and cable cars serve the central districts, and SoMa traffic during conference week is heavy enough that transit or walking beats any vehicle.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.

Venue networks are built for extreme density but a security audience has obvious reasons to prefer its own connection. A pre-loaded eSIM provides independent data throughout the city and avoids relying on shared conference Wi-Fi entirely. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Alcatraz Island. The former federal penitentiary in the bay, reached by a scheduled ferry from Pier 33, with an audio tour narrated by former inmates and guards that is genuinely well made. Tickets sell out weeks ahead, particularly in conference season. Half a day including the crossing. Tickets on Go City →
Presidio and Golden Gate Bridge. A former army post turned national park at the city's north-western corner, with coastal trails leading to viewpoints beneath the bridge towers. April mornings are often the clearest. Half a day, and the Presidio's free shuttle helps cover the large site.
Twin Peaks. Two hills at the geographic centre of the city with a full panorama across the grid to the bay, best in the hour before sunset on a clear evening. Reachable by rideshare in about twenty minutes from SoMa. An hour, and it is consistently windier and colder than downtown.
Japantown and Fillmore. One of only three remaining Japantowns in the United States, with a peace pagoda, a shopping arcade of bookshops and restaurants, and the Fillmore jazz corridor alongside it. Two hours, and it makes an easy evening away from the conference district.
How early should I book accommodation?
Very early. Conference week fills central San Francisco hotels and pushes rates sharply higher across the whole downtown.
What is the best way in from SFO?
BART reaches SoMa in about 30 minutes and avoids the heavy road traffic the conference generates.
What is the weather in early April?
Mild and often clear, roughly 12-18C, cooling quickly after sunset. Layers remain the standard advice.
