New venue for IBIA Annual Dinner


IBIA's annual dinner will be held at Grosvenor House in 2011.



The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) has announced that its annual dinner will be moving to a new venue in 2011.

The 17th IBIA Annual Dinner will be held at The Grosvenor House, a JW Marriott Hotel.

Commenting on the news, IBIA said "This year we have moved to new grander, larger and more spectacular venue."

Frequented by royalty, celebrities and business leaders since its opening in 1929, the historic Grosvenor House became a JW Marriott Hotel in September 2008 at the culmination of its restoration which incorporated every aspect of the hotel.

Set in Mayfair, the 5-star luxury hotel is located near museums and landmarks, grand department stores, West End theatres and businesses.
