My top 5 RSA sessions you shouldn’t miss
1. “The Next 50 Years” with Dr. Michio Kaku. I have seen the awesome Dr. Michio Kaku speak multiple times and his scientific ideas are amazing.

3. “Stranger Together: Becoming Monty Python” with Eric Idle. If you're a fan of Monty Python (which I have been for many years), then this session is definitely not to be missed. Cybersecurity is a bit of a scary place and sometimes we need to bring some fun into the industry. It’s great to see a session with comedy at RSA.

4. “The Hugh Thompson Show: Quantum Edition” with another talented and great panel lineup. If you are a "Back to the Future" fan then you won’t want to miss this session. Participants: Hugh Thompson, Shohini Ghose, Paul Kocher, and of course Christopher Lloyd
Thursday, Apr. 27, 2023 - 3:15 PM - 4:00 PM PT
Partially dead cats? Entanglement? Multiverse? Everything everywhere all at once. Pop culture's fascination with quantum has created a magical—and sometimes scary!—exploration of this breakthrough science. Join real quantum computing and cryptography experts, and then welcome to the stage the most celebrated Hollywood quantum scientist of them all, Doc Brown. Great Scott! Quantum has arrived. ~ RSA Conference website
5. “Want to Play a Game? Get Your Game On with Hacking Gamification”, starring yours truly, me, Joseph Carson. If you want to learn how to up your skills with gamification then this session is for you.
