Gala dinner
The CIRED 2025 gala dinner will take place on Wednesday, 18 June 2025 at The Bâtiment des Forces Motrices (BFM).
Built between 1883 and 1892 by engineer Théodore Turrettini, the BFM was previously operated as a hydroelectric power station. BFM is located in the heart of Geneva beside Lake Geneva. When fully operational it had 18 pumping and turbine plants in operation. The edifice, with its classical facades, appears to be floating on the river and is the perfect place to hold our CIRED 2025 gala networking dinner.
Enjoy an evening of fine food and drink, Swiss entertainment, networking with the opportunity to mingle and make new connections in one of Geneva’s most iconic buildings. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
Standing dinner
Instead of sitting at assigned tables, the CIRED 2025 Gala Dinner will take the form of a standing cocktail dinner where guests are free to move around, mingle, and enjoy food and drinks from various stations around the venue.
