Venue & Getting There
Save The Data takes place at SAXIS Group’s offices at Pinewood Studios, Pinewood Road, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, SL0 0NH.
Home to both Bond and Star Wars, Pinewood Film Studios has created some of the world’s biggest blockbuster movies with an incredible history of classic movie and TV shows spanning over the last 90 years.
This is an extremely rare opportunity for you to be granted access to the studios where you’ll be surrounded by sets, theatres and studios that have been shared by some of the finest actors, directors and movie making talent from around the world
By car: There is free parking available onsite for our guests. Please ensure that your vehicle registration is provided to us in advance so we can register it for access at the gate and remember to have photo ID with you on the day.
By public transport: Free Studio shuttle buses that run to and from Uxbridge, Slough, Gerrards Cross and West Ruislip train stations with direct access into London, are also available. We can take care of the shuttle bus booking and provide timetables, just send us an email to SAXIS Events if you’re considering using the service and we’ll come back to you with the relevant details.
Staying overnight: For those undertaking a longer journey, The Pinewood Hotel is located nearby close and offer a discounted rate for SAXIS event attendees. Please contact SAXIS Events for details.
Registration opens from 9:00am. The programme begins at 9:30am. The afternoon VIP cinematic experience runs from 14:00.
We’d recommend planning to be with us for the full day.
Whilst formal tours are not part of the programme, you will naturally be passing through and alongside active filming locations, such as the 007 stage, the Old House, the Grand Ballroom, Pinewood Gardens and the John Barry Theatre.
It’s a genuinely unique setting.
Smart casual.
Jeans and a blazer are perfectly appropriate — just mix style with comfort as you’ll be on your feet at points during the day.
Registration & Practicalities
You can register at https://www.saxis.co.uk/save-the-data-registration/. Places are limited and previous events have reached full capacity, so we recommend registering early.
You’ll receive e-mail confirmation of your place and an Outlook diary entry which will have directions, timings and a point of contact for you should you have any questions in the lead up to the event.
Closer to the event you’ll also receive joining instructions requesting any dietary requirements and including any final logistics updates.
Joining instructions will be sent to registered attendees closer to the event date. These will include a dietary requirements question — simply respond and we’ll ensure you’re fully catered for at lunch.
Not at all. SAXIS and SysGroup collectively work with organisations ranging from tens to thousands of users across the UK and globally. Whether you’re a 50-person business or a multi-site enterprise, the content and conversations at the Save The Data event will be relevant to you.
Absolutely. The Save The Data event is open to both existing SysGroup and SAXIS customers as well as organisations we haven’t yet had the pleasure of working with.
On The Day
Yes — there’s a Q&A session with the presenters at the end of the morning programme, and you’ll have further opportunity to speak with all speakers and specialists over lunch.
The afternoon is also a great opportunity for one-to-one conversations with our team and partners.
Yes. At the conclusion of the day you’ll have the opportunity to book a return visit or arrange a follow-up meeting with any of the presenters — either onsite at Pinewood or remotely.
The goal is to leave with a clear next step, not just a business card.
Our events have been running for over 10 years and previous dates have reached full capacity. Attendees consistently rate them as the best IT events they’ve ever attended — and that includes people who aren’t SAXIS customers.
Here’s why:
- Content is exclusively created to be punchy, informative, and practical — no death by PowerPoint
- Every session is designed to leave you educated and with something actionable
- It’s completely free with no sales pressure
- SAXIS has been established for 25 years and is now part of SysGroup — you’ll meet specialists who genuinely know their field
- It’s an ideal setting to discuss challenges and share experiences with peers from across the industry
- And frankly — there aren’t many IT events held at a working film studio
