RINA Annual Dinner 2026
The RINA Annual Dinner returns on the 28th May 2026, once again bringing together professionals from across the global maritime sector for an evening of conversation, connection, and celebration. Held at the historic De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden, London, the event is a long-standing tradition in the Institution’s calendar and a highlight for many working in naval architecture and maritime engineering.
With guests drawn from industry, academia, defence, and beyond, the dinner offers a valuable opportunity to engage with colleagues from across the sector in a relaxed and sociable setting. Whether renewing old contacts or making new ones, the evening is a chance to reflect on shared challenges, exchange ideas, and build relationships that continue well beyond the event.
If you’re part of the maritime world, this is an evening not to be missed. Register your interest now and join us in celebrating the achievements, innovation, and people that drive the industry forward.
