For one extraordinary evening, we gather to celebrate a milestone that belongs to all of us. The Legacy Gala marks 100 years of IG — a century shaped not just by progress and performance, but by the people who walked these halls, built relationships, and carried our values forward. For the first time in our history, this gala brings together the IG community, past and present, uniting generations whose collective contributions created the legacy we celebrate today.
This night is about more than looking back. It’s about honouring shared moments, rekindling connections, and recognizing the enduring spirit that links our past, present, and future. From first days to lasting careers, from foundations laid to paths forged — every story is part of the century we honour.
Together, we celebrate our legacy. Our people. A century together.
