SC Forum 2006

The SC Forum has firmly established itself as the premier networking event for information security professionals in the UK. The relaxed and informal style, which enables delegates to choose their own programme of workshops, is enhanced by the facilities and comfort of The Oxford Belfry.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from key industry speakers, sign up for a series of interactive workshops, network with peers, and discover new products on show from leading suppliers.

A superb social programme compliments the daytime events. Two evening dinners with speakers and entertainment, will give delegates the chance to wind down and relax in style.
