IET Manchester Network Dinner 2025
About
Following last year's hugely successful return of our flagship social event, we are thrilled to announce this year’s Manchester Network Annual Dinner, which will be held at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, Manchester Piccadilly, on Thursday 3rd April 2025.
This year’s dinner will be even bigger with space for 130 guests enjoying a top class 3 course dinner with speeches and live entertainment.
Our theme this year will be the very topical subject of Ethical AI and our keynote speaker will be Ben Thorn, Safety Engineer at Thales, who sits on the IET Technical Committee on AI and is a well regarded speaker on the topic.
To lighten the mood, there will also be some live entertainment from a surprise entertainer.
