My unbiased #RSAC 2023 ‘nobody reads my mastodon’ so I can say whatever review is:

everything was ChatGPT, so annoying, I apologize for everything mean I said about zero trust last year

booths are back

crowds are back

swag sucked horribly this year. Especially the big companies. It was watch a whole pitch to get a stupid keychain, you’re not scanning me for that…

kudos to the booth that was auctioning a full Blantons collection tho

nobody else masked, go with god

I see you, companies that fed us with free food trucks

please tell your marketing people they don’t need to define malware to us like we are 5

I’m so very tired of identical pew pew maps do something interesting

if you’re going to throw out metrics, cite your sources

villages are still better than expo-,

you can bribe me to notice your product that isn’t shit with swag, why do you give out keychains and boring logo shirts I’m serious I want a nice phone charger or a shot

@hacks4pancakes I was amused at the comment from a vendor to an attendee overheard at a booth in the expo...

"Would you like a bag for your bags of bags?"

I swear that like 60% of the vendors were handing out bags on the first day the expo was open. A few managed to have other things the following day but it was an entire expo of mostly bags and pens and stickers.
