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.

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.

The 2026 event will be held in the glittering Goldsmiths’ Hall, one of the Twelve Great Livery Companies of the City of London. Positioned at the junction of Foster Lane and Gresham Street in the City of London, Goldsmiths’ Hall is the perfect backdrop for this year’s annual black tie gala dinner.

Highlights include:

• A drinks reception in the Drawing and Exhibition Rooms
• A three-course dinner served in the Livery Hall
• A late-night After Party just a short walk away – included for all dinner guests
• A unique opportunity to connect with decision-makers from across the sector
