The Society of Maritime Industries Annual Dinner will be held on Thursday 28th November 2024 at Merchant Taylors’ Hall, 30 Threadneedle Street, London, EC2R 8JB.

The President’s Reception commences at 19.00 with free flow sparkling wine. This will be followed by a seasonal three course meal at 20:00 in the Great Hall.

A nearby 'After Party' will be included with your ticket, for those wishing to stay out later. 

The event speaker is to be confirmed.

The Annual Dinner is as much a social occasion as for business and spouses/partners are most welcome.

Given the popularity of previous dinners, members are urged to make their reservations early, as we take applications on a first come first served basis.

The dress code is black tie and cocktail/evening dress.

This event is exclusively for members of the Society and their guests.
