The OM Engineers Dinner will be held at The Bleeding Heart Bistrot in London once again for a delicious three course dinner and great wine to pair with both social and networking conversations.

This year’s speaker is Isobel Byrne Hill. A Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, having started at Arup as a structural engineer and become a major projects leader, her projects include the London 2012 Olympics, Crossrail (the Elizabeth Line) and HS2. With growth and infrastructure investment a key policy topic in the UK, Isobel will explore the themes of Risk, Safety, Change and Innovation in the context of the built environment.

The impacts of climate and demographic change are being increasingly experienced in reality. From floods, to record temperatures, to the needs of ageing populations and requirement for new approaches to the built environment, the very nature of risk is changing. For many the impact of these risks is experienced unequally, becoming an increasingly important consideration in how we conceive of and design cities of the future.

We would like to encourage everyone with an interest in engineering, science, design and technology to attend, whatever stage of your career or studies you are at or if it is just an interest.

The event is limited to 30 places, so please sign up as early as possible. Looking forward to seeing you there. Richard Amunugama (Burton Bank 1988-93)
