The GMA Industry Awards 2026 will take place on Thursday 12 March 2026 at the prestigious Edgbaston Stadium, home of Warwickshire County Cricket Club. 

The prestigious industry awards ceremony, which has recognised excellence in grounds care since 2009 will then follow, bringing together many of the UK and Europe’s leading practitioners and suppliers to pay tribute to the very best in the professional, amateur and voluntary sector.

From 18:00 the Industry Awards evening will start with a drink’s reception, followed by an incredible 3-course dinner and the prestigious awards ceremony. To continue the celebrations at the stadium, there will also be a GMA Industry Awards Afterparty from 22:30 till late with live entertainment, music and more!  

However, the GMA Conference will be kicking off the day from 09:30 at Edgbaston Stadium, and we encourage you to make the most of the day at this iconic venue by attending both the Conference and the Industry Awards.
