Gardner has reported on events from Afghanistan, Somalia and Saudi Arabia where, in 2004, he was shot and severely wounded.

Robert Sinclair, chief executive of AMI, said: “AMI and our event sponsors, Santander for Intermediaries are delighted to arrange for our guests to hear from an individual who has looked death in the face and continues to provide challenge and insight on complex issues.”

The dinner will be held on 12 June at The Millennium Mayfair Hotel, Grosvenor Square in London.
