ISIA Awards 2026 Open for Nominations and Industry Partnerships
The Irish Security Industry Association (ISIA) is delighted to announce that nominations are now officially open for the ISIA Awards 2026, recognising excellence, innovation and outstanding achievement across Ireland’s private security industry.
Taking place on Saturday 14 November 2026 at the Killashee Hotel, the ISIA Awards bring together senior decision-makers, industry leaders, clients, representatives of An Garda Síochána and the Private Security Authority for one of the most important events in the Irish security calendar.
This year’s Awards recognise excellence across both individual and company categories, celebrating the people, teams and organisations that continue to raise standards throughout the profession. The refreshed nomination process has been designed to make entering easier while ensuring nominees clearly demonstrate the impact of their work against the published judging criteria.
Gráinne O’Malley, ISIA Awards Co-ordinator, said: “The ISIA Awards are an opportunity to celebrate the people and organisations who demonstrate professionalism, innovation, leadership and outstanding service every day across Ireland’s private security industry. We encourage our member companies to recognise the achievements of their teams and submit nominations that showcase the exceptional work taking place throughout the sector.”
In addition to opening nominations, the ISIA has also launched its 2026 Awards Partnership Programme, providing organisations with an opportunity to align their brand with one of the industry’s flagship events. Partnership opportunities include award sponsorships together with a range of event sponsorship packages, offering brand visibility before, during and after the Awards through digital promotion, media coverage, event branding and recognition as an official ISIA Awards Partner.
Several partnership opportunities have already been secured, with additional awards currently provisionally reserved, demonstrating strong support from across the industry ahead of this year’s event.
Companies wishing to nominate colleagues, teams or organisations, or those interested in becoming an ISIA Awards Partner, are encouraged to visit the Awards page where nomination forms, judging criteria, sponsorship opportunities and event information are now available.
