IPF Annual Dinner 2018
14

2018
Booking is in now open for the 2018 IPF Annual Dinner.
As part of a refresh of the Dinner, not only have we changed the venue to the InterContinental London Park Lane, we have also updated the format slightly and the pre-Dinner Drinks Reception is also included in the ticket price.
Owing to the FIFA World Cup in June/July this year’s Dinner is also taking place slightly earlier than usual in June to avoid clashing with any matches.
Hosted tables of 10 to 12 people can be purchased. In addition to full tables, there will also be a number of individual places for members, or members with a smaller number of guests (subject to the terms and conditions on the booking form).
Ticket price: £179 + VAT (£214.80 inclusive of VAT @ 20% per person). A table to seat 10 people will be £1,790 + VAT (£2,148 inc. VAT). The ticket price includes the pre-Dinner Drinks Reception.
Wine and beverages during and after the dinner are not included in the ticket price.
Pre-Dinner drinks, and a good opportunity to network, will be from 6.45pm. Dinner will be called at 7.30pm. Formal proceedings are due to finish at around 10.15pm when the cash bar opens and offers another networking opportunity.
Dress Code: Black Tie
Carriages: 12 midnight
