30th AIMES Awards Gala Dinner – Saturday 24 May
Due to very strong ticket sales this massive celebration of three decades of AIMES Awards Gala Dinners has been moved to a bigger venue. At the time of going to press there were still tickets available, but this will sell out.
Back in 2015 the twentieth Gala Dinner attracted 600 people to the Cordis Hotel in the city. It was a magnificent event – two decades of rewarding excellence were celebrated in style. Ten years on, this ‘Gatsby and Pearl’ themed event is shaping up to be even bigger!
