We have already started taking bookings for the next annual dinner! Building on the resounding success of last year’s occasion, ‘The Original Fridge Dinner’ will return to the elegant Hilton London Bankside. This new venue proved particularly popular with guests due to its increased capacity, large bar area overlooking the room, convenient location, and, of course, excellent food.

This annual IOR gathering offers a great opportunity to network with members and other industry professionals, meet valued clients, and showcase your business’s continued support for the Institute’s work in education.

Last year, the number of people attending increased, and we are expecting to sell out this year, so do book early to secure a table. Individual mixed tables are also available, allowing people to sit together with friends or make new contacts. Ticket prices, which start at £235.80 per person, include:

  • Welcome drinks reception 
  • A three-course meal including 1/2 bottle of wine and water per person
  • Speech from the IOR President Lisa- Jayne Cook FInstR
  • After dinner speaker
  • Awards for exceptional individual achievement in progressing our industry
  • Fundraising for charity and the IOR Presidents' fund for education initiatives
  • Late bar 

Visit www.ior.org.uk/annualdinner to find out more about tickets and to book your place.

To showcase your brand at the dinner and to find out more about sponsorship opportunities, contact Lisa Waters at lisa@ior.org.uk. There are many new sponsorship opportunities being offered this year to businesses of all sizes to raise their profile.
