After a gap of several years, the Insurance Institute of York is back — Join us for a splendid black tie evening at one of Yorkshire's most celebrated venues, York Racecourse, where the Dante Suite promises an elegant backdrop, outstanding cuisine, and the kind of lively conversation that only comes from gathering the best of our profession under one roof.

 

Whether you're a seasoned member, a newcomer to the region, or a guest from across NE England, this is an evening not to be missed. Bring your colleagues, bring a guest, and come ready to enjoy a wonderful evening.

 

The Evening's Programme

Drinks reception and networking — a chance to catch up with colleagues and meet new faces from across York, North Yorkshire and beyond.

 

Dinner — a superb three-course dinner showcasing the Racecourse's acclaimed hospitality.

 

Guest Speaker: Phil Turner, CII Corporate Manager

Phil will be taking a light-hearted look at the world of finance and insurance — think wit, anecdote and just enough insight to remind you why you chose this industry. Phil is also a music enthusiast, so expect the unexpected.

 

CII Chair: Dr Helen Phillips

We are delighted to welcome Dr Helen Phillips, Chair of the Chartered Insurance Institute, who will be joining us for the evening.

 

Entertainment: Magician Alan Hudson

Alan Hudson is no ordinary after-dinner entertainer. Winner on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, star of ITV's The Next Great Magician and Britain's Got Talent, Alan has wowed audiences at The Magic Castle in Hollywood and performed for global giants including Google, Apple and Disney. At our dinner, he'll be performing close-up magic during the evening before taking to the stage — your guests will be the stars of the show.

"Hilarious. Brilliant!" — Stephen Mulhern  |  "You're like the Lee Mack of Magic!" — Ant and Dec
