The Australian Event Awards has chosen a home for the next three years, thanks to a significant State government bid.

Organisers were extremely impressed with not only the quantity, but excellent quality of the bids, and received applications from outstanding destinations from around the country. After a painstaking decision process, the Australian Event Awards is proud to announce Doltone House Sydney as the venue for the next three years.

In May of this year the Australian Event Awards launched a Nation-wide campaign inviting destinations to bid in the hopes of hosting the Industry Night of Nights from 2013-2015. The ‘Search For a Home’ was announced, attracting wide-spread attention from organisations and venues across Australia, interested in this truly unique opportunity.

The new Hyde Park venue will host the upcoming 2013 event.

Business Events Sydney in collaboration with the NSW Government put forward a bid to secure the Event Awards ceremony, to enable the growth of the Awards and to promote Sydney as a premier Australian events destination.

“This powerful bid was a stand-out due to its collaborative strength, and significant government support – both vital in ensuring the prosperity of the broader events industry in Australia,” said Ian Steigrad, managing director of the Awards.
