The Annual Dinner provides an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new contacts, and of course to entertain clients. The venue is always in central London, usually the Institute of Directors. Recent speakers include Governor Mark Carney, George Osborne, Loretta J Mester, President, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England and in 2022, Philip R Lane, member of the European Central Bank’s executive board.
