Tickets now available for IOR dinner

UK: Tickets are now available for the annual Institute of Refrigeration dinner, which returns to the Hilton London Bankside hotel on 12 February 2026. 

This year’s event, the 126th, offers the usual opportunities to reconnect and network with members, clients and other industry professionals. 

After a number of years at the Grange St Pauls, the new larger venue proved particularly popular last year, and the IOR expects this year’s event to sell out, so early booking is recommended.

“Following the huge success of last year’s event, we’re excited to welcome the industry once again for this much-loved tradition and a highlight of the sector’s calendar. The dinner offers a fantastic opportunity to network, reconnect with colleagues, and support the IOR – all while enjoying a great evening together,” said Julie Murray, the IOR dinner committee’s chair.

Ticket prices start at £235.80 per person and include a welcome drinks reception, three-course meal including 1/2 bottle wine and water per person.

Visit the IOR website for more about the event and to book your place. 

The are also sponsorship opportunities are also available. To find out more, contact Lisa Waters. at lisa@ior.org.uk.
