The ANI runs a number of events of interest to the naval and maritime community.
The ANI’s two flagship events are:
- the ANI Annual Dinner during which the McNeil Prize is awarded and the Vernon Parker Oration is delivered by an eminent Australian; and
- the Goldrick Seminar in which an issue of particular interest of the Chief of Navy is explored.
2020 ANI McNeil Prize
Due to the pandemic restrictions which necessitated the cancellation of the ANI Annual dinner the 2020 ANI McNeil prize will be awarded on 2 December 2020. The ceremony will be held via Zoom video.
The McNeil Prize is awarded to ‘an individual from Australian industry who has made an outstanding contribution to the capabilities of the Royal Australian Navy.’
BOOKINGS
The event is kindly sponsored by Lockheed Martin Australia.
