Everything you need to know about attending, voting, sponsoring and the awards process across both the Africa and Europe editions.
Two in-person editions: the Europe Edition in London (6 November 2026, London Marriott Hotel) and the Africa Edition in Nairobi (20 November 2026, Marriott Hotel), plus a virtual Mid-Year Summit. The same six award pillars apply across both.
20 November 2026 at the Marriott Hotel, Upper Hill, Nairobi. Summit 10:00–14:00 EAT; Gala Awards 16:00–19:00 EAT.
The London Edition takes place on 6 November 2026 at the London Marriott Hotel. Register your interest to receive ticket details and priority booking.
Africa Edition public voting runs 15 June – 15 August 2026 on the secure online platform — one vote per person per category. The top 5 per category proceed to independent judging. Europe Edition voting opens later in the year.
Africa: Summit Pass (USD 150), Full Delegate (USD 350), Gala Only (USD 220) and Student (USD 60), with KES equivalents. Europe pricing (GBP) is confirmed shortly ahead of 6 November. Group and table rates are available for both.
Public voting shortlists the top 5 per category; an independent panel of judges then assesses those nominees against published, sector-specific criteria — without conflict or bias — and recommends the top 3 finalists. Winners are announced on the night.
Yes — Gold, Silver and Bronze packages are available per edition, with multi-edition options spanning Nairobi and London. Contact events@grcfincrimeawards.com for the prospectus.
