Looking back on 50 strong years and looking further ahead, the attendees were asked to consider the notion: “I want to see…”, then to share their responses on the windows of iconic venue, which were covered in clear electrostatic panelling for the evening.

The atmospheric lighting for the event was lead by Tim Carr Arup’s Senior Lighting Designer and guests included Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore.
