History of the RSAC Conference

The RSAC Conference (originally the RSA Data Security Conference) was the brainchild of Jim Bidzos, the CEO of RSA Security. “RSA” is short for “Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman,” the founders of RSA Security and the creators of its public-key encryption technology. The first conference took place in 1991 and featured just one panel discussing the merits of DES and DSS standards.
RSAC grew rapidly, going from just over 200 known attendees in 1993 to more than 2,500 in 1997. The conference eventually crossed borders, with the first European RSAC event taking place in 2000. Today, it is estimated that approximately 45,000 people visit at least one RSAC event in the United States, Europe, Japan, or the United Arab Emirates every year.
