Traditionally each year there is an anniversary celebration for the IAS (International Association of Scientologists) and the "IAS Freedom Medal Winners" are announced.

The event takes place at St. Hill Manor in England, the location where the IAS was first established.

Mr David Miscavige is the Master of Ceremonies each year, and part of the proceedings involve the validation of those who, as members of the IAS, have contributed above and beyond the call of duty.
