SPE Annual Dinner 2025

The SPE Annual Dinner will be held on Monday 17 November at the Institute of Directors. The evening will commence with a Drinks Reception at 6.30pm followed by a sit-down dinner at 7.00pm.

We are honoured and delighted that this year’s guest speaker will be Christopher J Waller, member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Christopher Waller took office as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on December 18, 2020. Prior to his appointment at the Board, Dr Waller served as executive vice president and director of research at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis since 2009.

In addition to his experience in the Federal Reserve System, Dr Waller served as a professor and the Gilbert F Schaefer Chair of Economics at the University of Notre Dame. He was also a research fellow with Notre Dame’s Kellogg Institute for International Studies. From 1998 to 2003, Dr Waller was a professor and the Carol Martin Gatton Chair of Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics at the University of Kentucky. During that time, he was also a research fellow at the Center for European Integration Studies at the University of Bonn. From 1992 to 1994, he served as the director of graduate studies at Indiana University’s Department of Economics, where he also served as associate professor and an assistant professor.

Generously sponsored by Oxford Economics, the Annual Dinner is an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new contacts, and of course to entertain clients.

The venue is once again the elegant Nash Room in the Institute of Directors.
