The thing that happens before the thing that happens
The Tonga Room · Fairmont San Francisco
Tongacon is an annual gathering of security researchers, hackers, and infosec leaders held at San Francisco's legendary Tonga Room inside the Fairmont Hotel. Started by Jack Daniel in 2011, Tongacon has become one of the most anticipated traditions of RSAC week.
Every year on the Sunday before RSA Conference, the community comes together for an evening of tiki drinks, good conversation, and the kind of connections that only happen when you put the right people in a room with a pirate ship and a rain storm.
No badges. No lanyards. No talks. Just the people who make this industry worth being a part of.

Annually on the Sunday evening before RSAC week. Doors open at 7 PM.
The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, Fairmont San Francisco, 950 Mason St.
An invite-only evening for the infosec community. Tiki drinks, passed appetizers, and great company.
Tiki drinks don't pay for themselves. Huge thanks to the folks below for making Tongacon 2026 happen — If you enjoyed Tongacon 2026 (and we know you did), please share your support.
Tongacon 2027 is already on the books. If you or your company would like to help keep the tiki drinks flowing next year, we'd love to hear from you.
