UK: Bookings are now open for the 122nd IoR Annual Dinner which makes a return to its traditional winter date in London.

As with previous events, the dinner will include a welcome drinks reception, three-course meal including 1/2 bottle of wine per person, the usual speeches and awards, a yet-to-be-named after-dinner speaker and, importantly, a late bar.

Tickets start at £147.00 + VAT and companies can book tables of 10 or 12 seats.
