The
finalists for the M&IT Awards 2026 have been announced, recognising the
individuals, teams and organisations leading the way across the meetings and
events industry.
A
total of 18 categories will be contested at the awards, taking place on Friday
18 September 2026 at Grosvenor House London.
Presented
by Northstar Meetings Group, the M&IT Awards brings together hundreds of
event professionals from across the sector and remains one of the largest
gatherings of the meetings and events community.
M&IT
editor Paul Harvey said: "The M&IT Awards are always a brilliant
reflection of the strength, resilience and creativity of our industry, and this
year's finalists are no exception.
"The
standard of entries and nominations was exceptionally high, which made the
process incredibly competitive across every category. To be shortlisted is a
significant achievement and everyone who has made the final list should be
extremely proud.
"What
makes the M&IT Awards so special is that they are driven by the industry
itself. These finalists have been recognised by event organisers and peers who
understand exactly what excellence looks like in practice.
"Congratulations
to everyone who has been shortlisted. We look forward to celebrating with the
industry at Grosvenor House in September and revealing the winners on the
night."
Comedian
Katherine Ryan will host this year's ceremony, bringing her trademark
sharp wit and unapologetic honesty to the meetings industry’s biggest night.
Early-bird ticket rates are available until 26 June, after which prices will
increase.
