We’re thrilled to be back at the MCEC for the ARCIA Industry Gala Dinner and Awards night again this year. As always, the event is a night to network, celebrate each other and all that is the radio and critical communications industry. We invite you to enjoy the night with colleagues and friends, with fantastic food and entertainment.

This year's guest speaker and MC for the evening is Paul McDermott, the well-known Australian entertainer and comedian who will make sure we all have another great night following day one at Comms Connect!

During the 2023 Industry Gala Dinner, we will take time to acknowledge and celebrate excellence in our industry with the ARCIA Industry Excellence awards, where we recognise the achievement of outstanding individuals in our industry.

Tickets are also available through Comms Connect as part of their delegate packages.

This year the event will be held in the Sovereign Room located on level 1 of the Exhibition Centre with lift access nearby.
