	"Well, 2025. What a year. It's a particularly special one for us because it's our diamond anniversary. We celebrate 60 glorious years of CIAT. It was only two roads down from here in Portland Place where 43 people gathered on the 12th of February 1965 to form an association named the Society of Architectural and Associated Technicians. Fast forward to 2025, over 9,000 members and affiliates are now represented by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists. That's 200 times increase in membership and a 200 times snazzier name if I must say some of them. And of course, there are so many people in this room who have played a part in creating, influencing, supporting and making CIAT into the magnificent institute that it is today. Can we have a round of applause for everyone who has in some way been a part of the CIAT family? From me, a massive thank you to you all. And of course, we will be celebrating our diamond anniversary in Dublin in November. And honestly, I can't wait. Here's a wee film to wet your appetite.		"Well, 2025. What a year.

		+	"Well, 2025. What a year. It's a particularly special one for us because it's our diamond anniversary. We celebrate 60 glorious years of CIAT. It was only two roads down from here in Portland Place where 43 people gathered on the 12th of February 1965 to form an association named the Society of Architectural and Associated Technicians. Fast forward to 2025, over 9,000 members and affiliates are now represented by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists. That's 200 times increase in membership and a 200 times snazzier name if I must say some of them. And of course, there are so many people in this room who have played a part in creating, influencing, supporting and making CIAT into the magnificent institute that it is today. Can we have a round of applause for everyone who has in some way been a part of the CIAT family? From me, a massive thank you to you all. And of course, we will be celebrating our diamond anniversary in Dublin in November. And honestly, I can't wait. Here's a wee film to wet your appetite.
