RVAsec 13: Best Year Ever!

It has become cliche for people to say, “the most recent event was the best ever,” and in the case of RVAsec 13, it was undeniably true. This year’s conference was nothing short of phenomenal, thanks to a combination of a fantastic new location, top-notch speakers, dedicated volunteers, and incredible attendees.

New Location, New Heights

Switching to a new location often brings its own set of challenges, but this year’s larger space proved to be a massive advantage. The venue allowed us to accommodate more attendees comfortably and facilitated smoother operations throughout the event.

Volunteers: The Unsung Heroes

Our volunteers were absolutely on point this year, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Their dedication and hard work behind the scenes made a significant difference in the overall experience for everyone involved.

Exceptional Speakers and Content

The speakers at RVAsec 13 were nothing short of extraordinary. Their expertise and engaging presentations provided invaluable insights and sparked meaningful discussions among attendees. The content this year truly set a new standard for quality and relevance.

Gratitude to Our Sponsors

A special thanks to our sponsors for their continued support. This year was particularly challenging, with sponsors and attendees waiting until the last minute to commit. Despite this, their support was instrumental in making RVAsec 13 a success.

Looking Ahead

We have already started planning for next year, aiming to make it even bigger and better. To our vendors, we ask for your continued support of RVAsec and the community. To potential speakers, now is the time to start thinking about your talks for next year. And to our attendees, for the love of all things cyber, please buy your tickets early!

Our Ambitious Goal

Our goal for next year is to reach 1,000 attendees. With your help and support, we believe this is entirely achievable. If you weren’t able to make it this year, don’t worry—all videos from the event are now live on our YouTube channel.

Thank You!

Thank you all for your continued support and for making RVAsec 13 an event to remember. 

We look forward to seeing you next year!

Jake and Chris
