Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be a customer to attend a Security Social.exe Event?

Not at all! Our events are open to everyone. While we’d love the opportunity to work with you in the future, these events are all about creating a platform for local IT professionals to network, share challenges, and exchange advice on best practices. It’s about building a strong, collaborative community - no strings attached!

I need to leave before the private screening of Jurassic Park. Is that okay?

Absolutely! The private screening of Jurassic Park is completely optional. We understand that attendees have work and personal commitments, so the main event will wrap up by 2:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to head off if you can’t stay for the film.

Can I bring a +1?

Absolutely! You’re more than welcome to bring a colleague or another IT professional from your network. We just ask that they register in advance so we can keep track of availability for the limited, paid-for seats.

Is there on-site parking available?

Parking is available adjacent to the venue - the Arc Cattle Market car park.

Public Car park, Bury St Edmunds, Bury Saint Edmunds IP33 3AG
