The National AI Awards

Spotlighting the Remarkable Advances and Contributions in the field of Artificial Intelligence

The AIconics Awards have officially partnered with the National AI Awards 2026, uniting two flagship moments in the UK AI calendar to celebrate excellence and accelerate innovation. This new collaboration creates a seamless journey for the AI ecosystem -  from recognition on 9th June at the National AI Awards to real-world commercial impact at The AI Summit London on 10–11th June 2026. 

Now in its third year, The National AI Awards will take place on 9th June 2026 at the iconic Royal Lancaster London - a five-star venue on the edge of Hyde Park, offering the perfect backdrop for a night celebrating excellence and innovation in artificial intelligence. Importantly, the awards operate on a strict no pay-to-play policy. Entry is free, judging is independent, and all finalists receive a complimentary ticket to attend the ceremony - ensuring the event remains accessible, inclusive, and focused solely on genuine achievement.
