AEI's largest event is its annual dinner, held each year in Washington, D.C. Up to two thousand guests gather for the gala, which features an individual who has made notable intellectual or practical contributions to improved public policy and social welfare. That individual receives the Irving Kristol Award and delivers the evening's main speech.
The Irving Kristol Award replaces the Francis Boyer Award, AEI's highest annual award for the past twenty-five years. Named for a distinguished chief executive of SmithKline in the 1940s and 1950s, the Boyer Award was first conferred in 1977, on former president Gerald R. Ford. Boyer Award recipients have included prominent statesmen, intellectuals, jurists, educators, and executives--among them, in 1991, Irving Kristol.
At AEI's 2003 annual dinner, President Bush delivered a historic address on the need for a new government in Iraq and the role it could play in spreading democracy in the Middle East.
