Dear ,

From the beginning the AIP determined that it would do its best to tell the stories of the people making our sort of progress happen - the sort of progress that actually leads to material well-being and human flourishing.

The McIlwraith lectures celebrate progress under the name of a visionary early Liberal premier of Queensland, Sir Thomas McIlwraith. This year we celebrate local tech entrepreneur Bevan Slattery. Last year it was the Wagner family of Toowoomba.

Bevan graduated from North Rockhampton High School in 1988. Ten years later he founded iseek which is a cloud, data centre and connectivity provider. In 2002 he co-founded PIPE Networks (since sold to TPG for $373m). He is also the founder of SubPartners (undersea cables) and Superloop.

This function is a major one, so we hope to see all friends and supporters at it. Tables are available at a competitive price.

Date: Thursday June 9, 2016. 12:00 to 2:00pm.
Venue: The Brisbane Club, 241 Adelaide St, Brisbane QLD 4000
Cost: $140 single ticket ($126 AIP members); $1,260 table of ten)
