Managing IP is pleased to reveal the date for its EMEA Awards 2026, our 21st awards ceremony.

The event will take place on May 1 2026, and will be held at the InterContinental London. The hotel is located by London’s O2 Arena in the Greenwich area of the city, close to the Docklands.

The venue is easily accessible for delegates visiting London for the International Trademark Association (INTA) Annual Meeting, which begins in London on May 2 at the nearby Excel London.

Last year, more than 250 prizes for legal excellence were handed out at an exhilarating EMEA Awards ceremony where over 600 guests joined us to celebrate the biggest achievements in the IP law sector.

Bird & Bird was among the top law firm performers of the evening, alongside HGF and DLA Piper. Nestlé, Nokia and Sandvik took home prestigious in-house awards.

Tickets for this year’s ceremony are strictly limited, and tables are expected to sell out quickly. Please contact Prin Shasiharan at Managing IP to reserve your space.

The submission process for Managing IP’s Awards, as well as the IP STARS rankings, is now open. Later this week, Managing IP will publish a Q&A with our research team to provide top tips on how to make your firm stand out.
