The FEI annual dinner is our last event of the calendar year and a great opportunity to catch up with fellow FEI members and to meet their partners and guests at one of Sydney’s top locations, the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron in Kirribilli.  Each year members, their wives / partners and guests say how much they enjoy this annual event, so consider coming even if you haven’t been to the annual dinner before.

This year our guest speaker will be Peter Gregg.  Peter stepped down as CFO of Qantas in September this year, having been appointed as Chief Financial Officer and to the Qantas Board in September 2000.  Prior to that, he was Deputy CFO and Treasurer of Qantas.  He is a Director of Leighton Holdings Limited and Stanwell Corporation Limited and Chairman of both companies’ Audit Committees.

Airlines, like banks, are a popular topic of conversation for the public and the press – maybe because most people use them and have their favourite tales to tell about them.  Peter has promised that he will give us an interesting (but not over-serious!) insight into the airline and his many years with it.

If you are free, mark the date in your diary and book for you and your partner.

You are welcome to bring guests as well as your partner.  Several companies take corporate tables for colleagues or clients plus their partners.

As in previous years, Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking will be the generous sponsor of the dinner, contributing to its cost.
