Jan Pentland Dinner
Thursday May 7 at the Cairns Convention Centre, 6.30pm drinks for 7pm start
An opportunity to come together
The Jan Pentland Foundation has the pleasure of inviting you to the Jan Pentland conference dinner.
​
The event is in honour of Jan Pentland, a financial counsellor who had an enormous impact on the profession. It's always a big highlight of the conference, with live entertainment, dancing, good food and awards.
​
Venue: Cairns Convention Centre
Time: 6.30pm drinks for 7pm start
Theme: A touch of purple (Jan's favourite colour)
Who should come?
Everyone is invited. Partners of delegates are welcome but you need to book as spots are limited.
​
Can I sit with people I know?
​
The dinner has set table seating, and we’re always thinking about how we seat people. By default, you will be seated with people from your state, organisation or industry.
​
If you have a special request, email us a couple of weeks before the conference, and we’ll do what we can.​
​Dress
​
Dress in something that feels celebratory and special and add a dash of purple (it was Jan Pentland's favourite colour).
​
Ballgown and sneakers? We’re up for that.
What you wore that day with a big smile? Perfect.
Semi-formal specialness is the way most people go.
​
Cost
Community sector - $125
Students - $100
Everybody else - $195
Plus ones are all charged full price.
