The Venues Collection is rolling out the red carpet for its annual awards ceremony on the shores of Sydney Harbour.

The Vibes Awards 2024 celebrate the standout individuals and teams who make the local events industry buzz with creativity, positivity and excellence.

Spice is a media partner for the awards that were created to recognise hardworking business event professionals in Sydney and celebrate their vibes.

People in the events industry have unique DNA, characterised by flair, creativity, hard work, leadership, lateral thinking and being a team player.

The team at The Venues Collection believes people are born to work in the events industry, and these good vibes make them courageous, accountable through their actions and empathetic towards others.

The Vibes Awards celebrate individuals and the great work they do. The awards night party provides an opportunity to celebrate peers with around 200 business event professionals in attendance.

“What an incredible night,” says Aeron Dundas, from Adobe, a Vibes Awards winner in 2023.

“The venue was fabulous and the event progression as the night unfolded showcased just how versatile the space can be and how imaginative you can be with catering.

“Our industry doesn’t have a lot of awards for individual creators – we are the ones who design and produce these marvellous events, and to be awarded for our hard work is incredible.

“The events industry is full of hardworking individuals – if you’re afraid of hard work, this is not the industry for you.

“But to have The Vibes Awards celebrate us is amazing.”

The Vibes Awards party will provide incredible networking opportunities, and cuisine excellence will be on display – canapes and food stations – thanks to the culinary team at Watersedge at Campbell’s Stores, The Venues Collection’s flagship events destination venue.

“The party [in 2023] was great,” says Karen Sorensen, from K&M Events, a Vibes Awards winner in 2023.

“Watersedge at Campbell’s Stores is such a great space. Since then, I have put it forward to clients [as a venue].”

The Vibes Awards ambassador Felicity Zadro, from Zadro Agency, says the awards night party on 28 August is a tremendous opportunity to connect with peers in a fun setting.

“My experience at the 2023 Vibes Party at Watersedge was fantastic,” she says.

“It was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to connect with people in a more casual setting, have some amazing food, enjoy the view and party with my favourite people.

“It was wonderful to focus on our industry’s people and celebrate their achievements, rather than acknowledging only the events we deliver.

“People are the power behind this industry and it showed.”
