Gala Dinner

GALA DINNER

Always a favourite on the Steel Convention program, the 2022 Gala Dinner was held at the Ivy Ballroom and proudly sponsored by BlueScope. Guests were entertained by the musical stylings of Aussie rock legend, Diesel.

A steel industry stalwart, Bernie Landy, was also honoured at the Gala Dinner with a lifetime achievement award. Bernie officially stepped down as the ASI Chair and a Director at the Board meeting in February 2022. Bernie had been a Director of the ASI since 2017, and Chair since 2018.

Bernie recently retired from his role as General Manager Australian Steel Markets at BlueScope Steel. In this role, Bernie led revenue and growth across the full product range and breadth of BlueScope’s Australian market.

With a career in the steel industry that spanned over 30 years, Bernie's contribution to the ASI, and broader Australian steel industry, has been invaluable. His dedication, sage advice and service to the industry are wellknown and much appreciated.

ASI wishes Bernie all the very best in the next phase of his non-executive career.
