The Queensland Gala Dinner & Awards is the highlight of the annual events calendar in the water industry.

This prestigious event celebrates the outstanding achievements of innovative individuals. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends and colleagues across the water sector, to celebrate an industry dedicated to making a difference, and reflect on the past year in water.

We encourage our corporate members to consider the diversity of their invited guests to celebrate the water industry's commitment to positive change, consistently evolving towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
