The Masters of the Livery Companies of the Distillers and Marketors invite you to attend a wonderful evening on Wednesday 1 November at HMS President in London, a stunning shore-based Naval venue, with a specially assembled panel of experts to consider if the spotlight is on Tequila in 2024 – a fiery subject indeed!

The panel will be chaired by the esteemed David Wethey, a published author and expert in Marketing, who returns to reprise his expert controlling-role, to this time over-see:

Nuno Teles – Managing Director, Diageo, UK
David Haigh – Chairman and CEO, Brand Finance PLC
Marina Santos – Marketing Director, Campari, UK
David Elmer – Tequila Aficionado, many years based in Latin America

Commencing at 6.00pm, we will welcome you to HMS President, there will be time to greet friends and find a seat. The event will get under way at 6.30pm sharp. The Masters of the two Companies – Chris Searle and Glynn Cartwright – will set the scene and context for the evening for our respective Liveries.

The panel then, with complete audience interaction in the intimate surrounding of HMS President, will get into the meat of the subject – and conclude just before 8pm. A complimentary Tequila cocktail bar, provided by Diageo, Campari and Brown-Forman, with wines for those who prefer and Mexican inspired canapés too, will allow a well-lubricated continuation of the subject matters raised amongst friends in a highly convivial atmosphere. A Tequila tasting table will be provided by Brown-Foreman for those who wish to learn more about this fascinating spirit. Doors close at 9pm.
