We are delighted to announce that tickets are now available for purchase for the 2024 Lowy Lecture and Dinner. This year, the Lowy Lecture will be delivered by the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel.

The Lowy Lecture will be held on Tuesday 26 November 2024 at the Sydney Town Hall. It will be a wonderful evening, including welcome drinks and a formal dinner.

President Petr Pavel is one of Europe’s most influential, interesting and articulate leaders. He has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine in its war against Russia, leading calls for a strong and united response by Western nations to Russia’s aggression. He believes that, in light of current unprecedented challenges, democracies across the world must work closely together. 

Mr Pavel was inaugurated as the fourth President of the Czech Republic in March 2023. Prior to entering politics, he spent 35 years in the Czech military, culminating in his service as the Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces. Mr Pavel also chaired the Military Committee, NATO’s senior military authority, from 2015 to 2018.

The Lowy Lecture is the Institute’s flagship event and one of the world’s leading lecture series. 

Past Lowy Lecturers have included leaders such as Angela Merkel, Boris Johnson, David Petraeus, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and Jake Sullivan, as well as four sitting Australian prime ministers, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in 2023. 

Tickets are $300 for members/subscribers or $350 for non-members. 

Event tickets include dinner and drinks. Dress code is lounge suit.

The Lowy Institute is grateful for the support of our event partners AWS and Mercer.

We hope to see you at the 2024 Lowy Lecture and Dinner.
