The Second Annual British and Irish Graduates Ball will be held on Friday 3 November, 2006 in the Plaza Ballroom at the Seaport Hotel, Boston. The BIG Ball 2006 will offer cocktails, dinner, live music and dancing until the wee hours. Check out the gallery for pictures from last year's event.

Wether you studied at, worked at, are a friend of, or are just plain interested in higher education in the UK and Ireland, or simply want to hang out with the people with cool accents, this fabulous night out is for you. People with links with more than two dozen British and Irish universities and colleges of higher education have already bought tickets. This is primarily a social function, a chance to network, mingle and reminisce, dine and dance and have a great evening with great company. Our distinguished guests include the Consuls General of the UK and Ireland.
