Join fellow leaders from across the South West for our next event in the ADS South West CEO and MD Sector Leadership Dinner series. Following on from the highly successful defence focused dinner held in Plymouth on 9 July, the September event shall be focused on the aerospace sector.

This exclusive event is designed for managing directors, business owners and senior leaders, providing a valuable opportunity to connect with peers from across the aerospace sector in an informal setting.

The South West aerospace sector is the largest regional contributor to the UK economy and is home to one of the UK's strongest aerospace communities. This dinner offers a chance to discuss the opportunities, challenges and priorities shaping the future of the industry. Through open conversation and peer-to-peer networking, attendees will have the opportunity to share experiences, build relationships and strengthen connections across the region.

The evening will also feature a guest speaker from the aerospace sector, who will share their perspectives on current developments, future opportunities and the issues influencing our industry. Their contribution will help stimulate discussion throughout the dinner and provide additional value for attendees.

Whether you are looking to exchange ideas with fellow leaders, expand your network, or gain a broader perspective on industry developments, the ADS South West CEO and MD Sector Leadership Dinners provide a trusted forum for meaningful discussion amongst senior decision-makers.

Places are limited, with a maximum of one attendee per company, to ensure a high-quality experience and meaningful engagement for all attendees.

Why attend?

  • Hear directly from a senior aerospace leader on the future of the sector

  • Explore how businesses can strengthen resilience, innovation, and growth in a changing market

  • Build valuable senior-level connections across the South West aerospace community

Previous attendees have highlighted the value of the leadership dinner format:

"Small invitation events such as this give a great opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, have targeted debate around current challenges and propel strategic activities forward for the organisations involved."
