The Australian Event Awards had 13 National partners, supported by 13 State partners across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, that offered support in their area of expertise, demonstrating a true example of collaboration to create this event.
"The Awards are very fortunate to have so much industry collaboration. Without the support of our Partners the Awards could simply not exist." says Ian Steigrad, Managing Director of the Awards. "After the year the industry has faced, to be able to bring the events community together, not just at the ceremony itself but through the planning and execution of the Awards is an honour and a privilege."
