Observer Dawn is organising the London International Summit & Awards (LISA) on 11 June 2027 in London, United Kingdom. Building on an event programme that began in 2012, the summit brings together business leaders, entrepreneurs and policymakers to exchange ideas and recognise outstanding contributions across sectors.
The summit will focus on trade, investment and opportunities for collaboration between India and the United Kingdom. It will bring together perspectives from business and public policy and recognise individuals and organisations whose work has contributed to growth in either country.
Nominations are welcome from individuals and organisations of all sizes in India, the UK and elsewhere, across the private, public and charitable sectors. Award categories span business, public leadership, education, healthcare, sport, arts and culture, media, social impact, construction and manufacturing.
An experienced jury will assess eligible entries against the award criteria. The awards ceremony will take place in London as part of the summit programme.
A nomination fee of £3,000 per accepted nomination is payable only after written acceptance by the organising team. Submit your nomination first and await the outcome of its review.
