RSA Conference,
the world's leading information security conferences and expositions,
returns to the Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region for its 8
th year.
With public health and safety as top priority, RSA Conference has
decided to reimagine its annually sought-after event into a global
virtual learning experience.
The Conference will run from July 15 to 17, 2020,
during Singapore business hours (GMT+8), to deliver three full days of
free virtual learning experiences with some of the cybersecurity
industry's most forward-thinking leaders. A comprehensive agenda line-up
awaits attendees, from speaker-led sessions & keynotes to
interactive, hands on learning breakouts and networking time with peers
and experts.
With
the commitment to ensure that the cybersecurity community stays
connected and continues the important dialog on cybersecurity no matter
the format, the decision to move the annual physical event online will
ensure that RSA Conference can continue to shape and support the
industry and engage a broader audience.
"The
health and safety of our attendees is of primary importance, and
offering RSA Conference 2020 APJ as a virtual learning experience this
year was a decision we made to help ensure the cybersecurity community
stays connected with access to a platform for continual learning and
exchanging of best practices during this time of social distancing.
Cybersecurity is more important than ever, and we want to continue the
dialog no matter the format," said Linda Gray Martin, Senior Director
and General Manager, RSA Conference.
"I
am incredibly excited about the program we've put together and the
experience that our attendees will have. We are also very grateful to
the many speakers who are joining us from across the globe to share
their expertise and help our attendees chart the next steps in their
cybersecurity journey."
