On the first day of the security event, organizers sent a message through the conference app, encouraging attendees to knock elbows instead of shake hands. Attendees seemed to be sticking with the traditional greeting, even after this warning. They were packed into standing-room-only sessions throughout the conference center, which was unexpected after AT&T, Verizon and IBM bailed on the conference in the days before the event began on February 24, citing concerns about the coronavirus. RSA runs through February 28. 2ff7e9595c
