Jessica Ennis-Hill will receive her 2011 World Championships gold medal in a ceremony at the London Stadium on August 6.
Ennis-Hill's third world heptathlon gold was confirmed last week when banned 2011 champion Tatyana Chernova failed to prevent the annulment of her results between August 15, 2011 and July 22, 2013.
And the 2012 Olympic champion will be back at the scene of that triumph next month to collect her medal ahead of Sunday's evening session at this year's World Championships.
Ennis-Hill is one of 11 individuals who will receive retrospectively-awarded medals in London along with five relay teams.
The medals cover three World Championships between 2009 and 2013, with the Unites States 4x400m women's relay team also due to receive gold.
IAAF President Sebastian Coe said: "I'm delighted that the athletes are properly honoured for their achievements and what better way than in front of passionate athletics fans at a major championship.
"For those receiving gold medals their moment in London will be all the more special as they will hear their national anthem played. Whatever their nationality clean athletes worldwide will celebrate with them."
