Bookings open for 126th IOR Annual Dinner at Hilton London Bankside

The Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) has officially opened bookings for its 126th Annual Dinner, set to take place on 12 February 2026 at the Hilton London Bankside. Returning to the venue after last year’s successful debut, the event, known as The Original Fridge Dinner, continues to be a key fixture in the refrigeration and air conditioning sector’s calendar.

The Hilton London Bankside was praised by attendees in 2025 for its increased capacity, spacious bar area overlooking the main room, central location, and high-quality catering. This year’s dinner is expected to sell out, with rising attendance figures prompting early booking recommendations.

Julie Murray FInstR, Chair of the IOR Dinner Committee, commented: “We’re thrilled to be returning again to the Hilton London Bankside. Following the huge success of last year’s event, we’re excited to welcome the industry once again for this much-loved tradition and a highlight of the sector’s calendar. The dinner offers a fantastic opportunity to network, reconnect with colleagues, and support the IOR, all while enjoying a great evening together. We can’t wait to see you there.”

The evening will include:

  • Welcome drinks reception
  • Three-course meal with wine and water
  • Speech from IOR President Lisa-Jayne Cook FInstR
  • After-dinner speaker
  • Awards recognising individual achievement in advancing the industry
  • Fundraising for charity and the IOR Presidents’ education fund
  • Late bar for extended networking.

Tickets start at £235.80 per person, with options for individual mixed tables to encourage new connections and group bookings for businesses and clients.
