Gala Awards & Dinner Night 2026

Join us on the evening of 29th October for the ASC Gala Awards Dinner 2026, taking place alongside ConSeC 26.

This formal evening brings together professionals from across the security community to celebrate progress, recognise excellence, and reflect on the evolving landscape of the industry.

At the heart of the evening are the ASC Awards, recognising excellence, achievement and outstanding contribution across the security profession. Steeped in the history of the ASC, the awards honour the enduring influence of our Honourable Patron, Lord Peter Imbert, and Mike Cahalane, one of the founding members of the ASC.

This year, we will recognise achievement across four distinct areas. The Imbert Award honours excellence in UK Master’s-level research in security and risk, while the Mike Cahalane RISC Award and Mike Cahalane MASC Award celebrate outstanding consultancy and impactful work across the profession. The evening will also see the presentation of the Chairman’s Award, bestowed upon an individual whose exceptional contribution has made a lasting impact on the ASC or the wider security profession.

Designed as both a celebration and an opportunity to connect, the dinner offers a more relaxed setting to continue conversations, strengthen relationships, and engage with peers beyond the conference environment.

The evening will also feature a guest speaker, followed by music and entertainment, giving guests plenty of opportunity to relax, continue conversations and connect with peers in a more informal setting.

A fitting close to the day, the Gala Awards Dinner is an opportunity to be part of a shared moment within the ASC community.
