68th President's Annual Dinner, Londonderry Chamber of Commerce

What to Expect

The Londonderry Chamber of Commerce’s President’s Annual Dinner is the Chamber’s flagship set-piece event of the year, bringing together members and the wider North West business community for an evening of formal dining and networking. The 2026 edition is the 68th running of the dinner, held at the Everglades Hotel on Friday 2 October 2026, running from 6:30pm through to 11:45pm. Ticket options range from individual places to full table bookings, reflected in the wide published price range. It typically draws business leaders, elected representatives and Chamber members from across Derry and Strabane. The dinner sits alongside the Chamber’s calendar of smaller networking sessions, cross-border business briefings and the separate North West Business Awards as one of the fixed points in the region’s business year, and the fact that this is the 68th dinner reflects a tradition going back decades in Derry’s business community. For members, it is typically one of the best-attended events of the year and a chance to hear from the Chamber’s president and guest speakers on the state of the regional economy. The published price range, running from a single ticket up to a full table, suggests the Chamber is catering both for individual members attending alone and for companies wanting to bring a group.
