On Wednesday 20 May 2026, we will come together to celebrate the PRWeek People & Places Awards - an evening dedicated to recognising the very best in our industry.

Hosted at the Ham Yard Hotel, the night will bring together PR professionals from across the UK and Europe for an evening of great food, drinks, networking and, most importantly, celebrating the people, teams and workplaces shaping the future of communications.

The awards presentation and networking will shine a spotlight on the outstanding achievements of the past 12 months - recognising those who have raised the bar, driven impact and helped move the industry forward.

This will be the moment to celebrate that hard work and give it the recognition it deserves.
