Agency Hackers has announced a strategic new partnership with Don’t Panic Projects to co-locate the prestigious European Agency Awards alongside the Ibiza Super Summit this September.
Now entering its fourth year, the Ibiza Super Summit has established itself as a standout event for agency leaders across the continent. Founded by Ian Harris, Agency Hackers has returned to the island annually with a mission to create a unique environment for agency founders to connect and learn. The 2026 edition, set for September 23rd and 24th at the Ibiza Gran Hotel, promises to be the most ambitious yet.
To mark the occasion, Agency Hackers has joined forces with Don’t Panic Projects, led by founder Nicky Wake, to bring the European Agency Awards to Ibiza for the very first time.
The awards ceremony will take place on the evening of Tuesday, 22 September 2026, kicking off the festivities the night before the main conference begins. This scheduling provides finalists and winners an unforgettable opportunity to celebrate their success at one of the island’s most luxurious venues before diving into the content and networking of the Summit.
“This felt like the perfect way to elevate the experience,” said Ian Harris, founder of Agency Hackers. “The European Agency Awards recognise the very best agencies in Europe – and there’s no better place to celebrate that excellence than Ibiza.”
The partnership aims to create an unmissable week for Europe’s leading agencies by blending high-level industry recognition with the deep peer-to-peer insight the Summit is known for.
Nicky Wake, founder of Don’t Panic Projects, added: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Agency Hackers. Co-locating the European Agency Awards with Ibiza Super Summit creates a truly unique moment for the industry – combining recognition, connection and celebration in an extraordinary setting.”
