IPA iList 2026

A programme to celebrate the role models who are changing our industry for the better, from the work we create to the way we work together.

Are you rewriting the rules on inclusivity and representation? Make sure your story is part of the IPA iList 2026.

The IPA is calling on adland’s bold thinkers, inclusive leaders and innovative changemakers to tell their story and enter the IPA iList 2026.

If you, or someone you admire, at any level, is breaking barriers through intentional storytelling, inclusive casting, building cultural fluency and belonging in the workplace or industry, or driving real change in our industry around inclusivity and representation then make sure that story is heard. It can be a colleague, it can be yourself, as long as you are working in an agency.
