#RSAC 2025 Kickoff Chat | Many Voices, One Community!

Hey, Sean Martin, CISSP? Did we arrive at our first RSA Conference by carriage and horses? Was it 1871? Well, it feels like it’s been that long—and yet, here we are again, keeping the tradition alive.

Every year, Sean Martin and I sit down with our friends Britta Glade (SVP, Content & Communities) and Linda Gray Martin (Chief of Staff & SVP, RSA Conference) for what’s become a TRADITIONAL kickoff conversation on the road to RSAC.

Whether you’re packing your bags for San Francisco or following along from anywhere else around the world, we’ve got you covered!

Watch or listen up to to this pre-conference conversation—exploring what’s new, what’s exciting, and what you absolutely cannot miss at #RSAC2025.

Our mission is simple: to bring the conversations from RSA Conference into every corner of the world—for those attending in person, and for those who can’t make the trip.

Let’s stay connected and make cybersecurity a truly global conversation.

See you soon—whether in San Francisco or online!

In 2013, #ChineseMining company #Chinalco (中国铝业集团有限公司) sparked an international conversation about extractive impacts with the news it had successfully relocated an entire #Peruvian town of 5,000 residents to clear space for a #CopperMine. At the time, the #relocation project in #Morococha, central #Peru, was touted as a solution to protect villagers from #pollution and #environmental degradation as a result of #mining practices, and as a potential template for #Chinese overseas #investment in #LatinAmerica.

Ten years later, experts describe the move as a “tragedy.”

Joselyn Jaua, a Peruvian #journalist who covers the #environment and communities in the region, explained to #GlobalVoices that Chinalco’s policies have deeply impacted both Old Morococha and New Morococha: “The rise of poverty is notorious for relocated and non-relocated people alike.”

According to the report #Africa #GamingMarket Size (2024–2029) by #MordorIntelligence, a consultancy and #MarketResearch firm, the video game market in Africa is estimated to be worth over USD 2.14 billion in 2024. This figure could reach USD 3.72 billion by 2029.

#VideoGames have strong appeal among #AfricanYouth — of the continent’s 1.6 billion inhabitants, over 400 million are between the ages of 15 and 35. #Gaming is not merely a pastime; it can also be a real profession, known as esports, which includes its own rules, tournaments, prize money, and international competitions, like the Olympics Esports Games set to be held in Saudi Arabia in 2025. To explore the significance of this industry, #GlobalVoices spoke with Kofi Sika Latzoo, a #Togolese expert based in #Senegal.
