This year, we're unwrapping a truly vintage night in the retail calendar – the Annual Retail Industry Dinner 2011 and it's set to spectacularly recreate a bygone age of style and glamour…

Don't miss your chance to be part of this year's must-attend gathering of 1200 retail players from across our sector, government, civil service and beyond. Brought together in grand surroundings, the Annual Retail Industry Dinner promises to be a memorable evening of sparkling conversation, classy entertainment and good old fashioned networking.

We are delighted to announce that The Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government will be our keynote speaker and on the lighter side Gyles Brandreth, will give the after dinner speech. Expect hilarious anecdotes and rhetorical flourishes inspired by decades in the media and politics.

Guests can then dance the night away with drinks, a casino, music… and a goody bag to put the finishing touches to a memorable night.

The Dinner will be held on Wednesday 21 September 2011 so put the date in your diary now!
