The IEP Summit Networking Dinner 2026 is proudly sponsored by people service provider Get Set UK and offers an exclusive evening of networking, fine dining, and thought-provoking discussion. The first IEP Professional Excellence Platinum Award winner will also be revealed and inducted into the IEP Professional Excellence Hall of Fame, highlighting the exceptional leadership and impact among our Gold PEA winners.
Hosted at The Carlton at 116 Pall Mall, this must-attend event offers an exceptional opportunity to connect with peers, discuss the hot topics of the day, and explore the latest trends and policies shaping the employability landscape. Whether you’re looking to forge new connections, exchange insights, or continue discussions from the IEP Summit, this evening promises to be an inspiring and engaging experience.
“The IEP plays a critical role in uniting and elevating our profession, and we’re proud to stand firmly behind that mission,” said Thomas Harley, Group CEO at Get Set UK.
“The annual IEP Summit Networking Dinner is one of the few spaces where leaders across the sector step back from the day‑to‑day to interrogate what’s coming next, and what we must do differently.
“This year’s focus on Thriving in Tomorrow’s Labour Market captures exactly where the conversation needs to go. The pace of change is no longer something we react to. It’s something we must get ahead of, together.
“Our sponsorship reflects Get Set UK’s belief in a sector that is collaborative, innovative, and equipped to lead from the front.”
