On Wednesday 20 May 2026, the PR industry comes together for one of the most important nights in the calendar - the PRWeek People & Places Awards.

This is where the very best in PR and communications are recognised and celebrated -from rising talent to established leaders, and the teams and workplaces setting the standard across the UK and Europe.

Hosted at the iconic Ham Yard Hotel, London, the evening brings together PR professionals from across the industry for a night of exceptional food, drinks, networking, and above all - celebration.

It’s a rare opportunity to step out of the day-to-day and be in a room full of the people driving the industry forward.

The awards presentation will shine a spotlight on the standout achievements of the past year - the work that has raised the bar, made an impact, and helped define what great looks like in PR today.

And beyond the awards themselves, it’s the atmosphere in the room that makes the night.
The anticipation. The recognition. The conversations between peers who understand exactly what it takes to get there.

This is the moment to celebrate that work properly - surrounded by the people who understand its value.

And to give your team the recognition, experience and night out they deserve.
