Conference Dinner

Wednesday 11 September, 19:00 – 22:00

Newcastle City Council, Civic Centre, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8QH

A must-attend for all registered delegates! Take advantage of more networking opportunities at the pre-dinner drinks reception, followed by a sit-down three course dinner at the Newcastle Civic Centre with up to 400 fellow attendees. The Banqueting Hall at the Civic Centre is a modern-day take on a traditional, baronial style hall; guests will pass through the shadow of the magnificent bronze casting of the River God Tyne, and into the most prestigious building in the city for a truly unforgettable red carpet experience, and dine surrounded by medieval-style walls inscribed with the names of past Lord Mayors. 

 

Pre-booking to attend the dinner is required. Tickets cost £65 and can be purchased via the conference registration form.
