The Gala Dinner is a "standard offering" during an IBD meeting - due to the anticipated size of IBD+ 2025 we offer the Gala Dinner and in addition the odd Dine Around.

Since the IBD delegates work all Friday, all Saturday and half of Sunday on behalf of Mensa it is common practice to offer the Gala Dinner in the main hotel or close by - so here we go.

The ticket price includes the dinner as well as the odd bottle of mineral water that will initially be on the tables; you are asked to pay for any additional beverages like more mineral water, soft drinks, tee/coffee, beer and wine.

Notes

A note for those knowing the "Galadiner" on Annual Gatherings (Jahrestreffen) of Mensa Germany, where you're expected to dress up (suit with tie for him and matching outfit for her) and get a three-course meal served at your place and a dance floor - and all this at a price.

The "Gala Dinner" at the IBD+ does aim to offer the same quality of food certainly and you're encouraged to wearing a nice evening attire but the overall setting is less formal.

To allow the chef to prepare the food selection well please indicate if you prefer vegan food.
