DARA O Briain has been named as guest speaker for the SMMT’s Annual Dinner later this year.
The dinner, which is to be held at the London Hilton, Park Lane, on November 22, will include an appearance by the comedian and TV presenter as guest speaker.
It’s an event which is regarded as one which brings together senior executives from across the UK’s business, political and automotive sectors.
‘This year, I am particularly delighted to be joined by Dara O Briain, whose wit, intellect and talent will make for an entertaining evening,’ said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive.
‘The global automotive industry is emerging from a challenging economic downturn into a new era characterised by sustainable motoring. With renewed government focus on careers and skills in the automotive industry, these are exciting times for the UK’s automotive sector and SMMT’s Annual Dinner provides a great opportunity to come together with friends and colleagues from across the industry.’
Nigel Stein, SMMT’s president, will deliver the keynote industry address and the winners of SMMT’s Award for Automotive Innovation 2011 and the Autocar Courland Next Generation Award will also be announced on the evening.
Last year’s dinner was attended by over 800 senior industry representatives and this year, SMMT will build on that success. To purchase tickets for SMMT’s Annual Dinner, click here.
