What to expect
- Courts for everyone. Beginners get a short clinic from the Padel N9NE pros, then rotate into friendly games. Experienced players get matched by level.
- Bring nothing. Paddles and balls are provided. Wear court or running shoes and something you can move in.
- Food and drinks served courtside through the evening.
- Who comes. Practitioners and leaders in security, GRC, audit, privacy and AI from across San Diego County. This is a social, not a sales floor.
- Getting there. Padel N9NE is in Sorrento Valley with on site parking. Doors at 5:15.
Why padel
Security events in San Diego mostly happen at a podium or a bar. We wanted a third option: something active enough to break the ice, easy enough that nobody needs to have played, and short enough to fit a Thursday evening. Padel is played in doubles on an enclosed court, the rallies are long and forgiving, and after one game strangers are a team.
Sponsors
Sponsor spots for the Padel Social are open. Each sponsor gets a court activation, a welcome mention and logo placement across the event and the calendar. See how sponsorship works or write to watch@bettersecurity.ai.
