Judges

Thank you to all our 2026 Judges!

The Memcom Excellence Awards are independently judged by our expert panel who have been invited or have applied to become a judge. Many have judged with us several times and keep coming back!

Every year we invite experts and professionals from the world of membership to form our jury panel - from thought leaders, heads of associations, to consultants and suppliers working within the membership sector, each with an in-depth understanding of the industry's ever-changing landscapes.

If you're interested in judging the 2026 awards, email magali@memcom.org.uk for more information.
