About the Prestige Lectures

The Prestige Lecture series is one of the highlights of the IET’s events calendar. Showcasing the latest ideas and technologies, the nine lectures cover a range of engineering disciplines, ranging from general interest to the more technical. The President of the IET begins his year in office with an inaugural lecture every October.

• 18:00      Registration and refreshments
• 18:30      Lecture starts

All of the lectures are free to attend and open to non-members. Most of the lectures also include a dinner (charge applies) or networking reception, giving you the opportunity to discuss the lecture and the issues arising in a more informal setting.

Most of the Prestige Lectures were established in memory of engineers who achieved exemplary and ground breaking work in their day. The speakers invited to give Prestige Lectures are of that calibre – innovative, forward-thinking and at the top of their game.

Attending a Prestige Lecture is your opportunity to see the future of engineering.
