Question:
How many PDUs can I claim for a Dinner Event?

Answer:
When you say "Dinner Event" then my assumption is that you are referring to the monthly dinner meetings held by most PMI chapters around the world. I have attended about 40 or so of these dinner meetings (both as attendee and speaker) and based on this experience I can tell you that you will earn 1 PDU.
