The return of the IWMA Dinner Dance: a grand industry celebration

The evening will begin with welcome drinks, followed by a four-course dinner with perfectly paired wines. Afterwards, guests will enjoy drinks and dance to live entertainment from a band. For those who wish to extend the celebration, the IWMA has arranged a block booking of hotel rooms at a special rate. Guests can enjoy a seamless transition from the evening’s festivities to a restful overnight stay at the Leonardo Royal Hotel.

The IWMA is asking industry pro- fessionals to mark their calendars and prepare for an evening of celebration as the association’s Dinner Dance makes a return on 15 November 2024. Following a hiatus, the IWMA is reviving a tradition that debuted in 1975 in Stratford-upon-Avon. This time, the event will take place at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in London, with the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral as a backdrop.
