SMI Annual Dinner 2026

The Society of Maritime Industries is delighted to announce that tickets are now available for the SMI Annual Dinner 2026.

The SMI Annual Dinner is one of the most prestigious events in the maritime calendar – bringing together high-profile representatives from the maritime, defence and engineering sectors, together with representatives from Government and academia.

This year’s dinner is also set to be a landmark event as the Society celebrates its 25th Anniversary.

The 2026 event will be held in the outstanding Merchant Taylors', one of the Twelve Great Livery Companies of the City of London. 

The SMI Annual Dinner has become known for marking the start of the festive season and provides an outstanding platform to engage with clients, colleagues and industry partners.

We do hope you can join us.

Highlights include:

• A drinks reception in the Parlour and Cloisters
• A three-course dinner served in The Great Hall
• A late-night After Party just a short walk away – included for all dinner guests
