The 50th Anniversary Gala Ball
Fifty years of the Institute of Demolition Engineers, marked in the way it should be: the people who built this profession, in one room, for one evening.
The evening
A landmark in the Institute’s history.
The Golden Jubilee Gala Ball brings together members, past Presidents, partner organisations and guests from across the demolition industry to mark half a century of the Institute — and to look at the fifty years ahead.
Expect a formal dinner, the company of the profession’s most respected practitioners, and an evening that recognises the people who have carried the discipline forward since 1976.
