The exclusive Premier Series is a session of Dinners with high profile speakers, providing an opportunity to network at a senior level.

The President's Forum Dinners were introduced for the benefit of Senior Managers and Directors from our member companies in order to facilitate networking at a higher level and create and nurture long-standing relationships. Each meeting is addressed by a distinguished guest speaker - our 2008/09 season is detailed below:
