The security industry trade show. The expo floor is the product; CISO meetings happen in hotel suites all week, not at sessions.

Editorial review

Industry-defining trade show whose value is concentrated in private CISO meetings, not the conference itself. The badge swarm on the expo floor is the most-complained-about pattern in attendee reports.

What works

  • +Full coverage of the security vendor stack in one expo hall
  • +CISO meet-ups and analyst dinners run on a predictable side-event schedule
  • +Recruiter density for security roles is the highest of any event in the genre

What doesn't

  • Attendee reports describe relentless badge-scanning and post-show sales sequences
  • Hotel costs in central San Francisco spike to roughly 400 USD per night during the conference
  • Session content is consistently described as inferior to private analyst briefings
