Do you want to connect with the best-of-the-best innovators in the ICT industry?

AIIA's iAwardsAIIA is looking for partners to help us present the 2007 iAwards.

The iAwards is the national awards program honouring the ICT industry’s best-of-the-best business strategies in categories such as education and training, government, tourism and hospitality, healthcare, finance and media.

Thousands of industry stakeholders and executives participate each year by entering their work, attending judging events and celebrating at the annual awards dinner.

Following a six-month nomination and judging campaign, the winners of Australia’s iAwards are announced at the presentation dinner held in Sydney in late May.

“It is always magnificent to see the wealth of ICT experience, talent and development that Australia has to offer and moreover, to know that iAward recognition is, in many instances, the springboard for the realisation of many great Australian success stories.”
Alan Baxter, Head Judge

Join with some of Australia’s most influential brands in celebrating the best Australia’s ICT industry has to offer.

Partnering with AIIA to present the iAwards provides the very best opportunity to profile your company with Australia’s most important ICT professionals, industry stakeholders, media and government. Partners benefit from:

  • A credible and high-profile awards program,
  • A strategic eight-month marketing and advertising campaign from October to May,
  • Exposure beyond the ICT industry into government and the wider Australian business community,
  • Affiliation with Australia’s peak body in this industry, the Australian Information Industry Association.

The iAwards has an unsurpassed reputation for providing value to its partners. Long-term partners of the iAwards include CSIRO, IBM, the Australian Financial Review, Microsoft, Accenture and the Welsh Development Agency.

If you would like further information about partnership opportunities for the iAwards, contact Kathryn Porritt, General Manager – Membership & Business Services on (02) 6281 9444.
