Lumina Intelligence’s Category Management & Insight Awards are back for 2026, with an expanded programme celebrating excellence across the entire food and drink industry.
The only UK awards programme dedicated exclusively to Category Management and Insight, the event has been created to spotlight the unsung heroes whose expertise shapes category growth, commercial strategy and decision-making across retail, hospitality and beyond.
The awards are open to all UK-focused food and drink businesses, and recognise the teams and individuals who transform data, consumer understanding and market insight into measurable commercial impact.
Following the success of 2025’s event, Lumina Intelligence has expanded the event to reflect the growing importance of insight-led thinking in navigating an increasingly complex market landscape.
New additions include dedicated Retail and Out of Home categories for Data & Insight and Customer Collaboration; the introduction of the Positive Consumer Impact Award as well as continued focus on innovation, technology and emerging talent.
Entries open on 18 May and close on 31 July 2026.
Finalists will be announced in September, with winners revealed at a live awards event in London on 12 November 2026, bringing together industry leaders to celebrate excellence and innovation.
