The Ipswich Region Business Excellence Awards showcase the best of local business across a variety of award categories at a gala dinner held in October at the Events Centre at Ipswich Showgrounds.
The theme for this year’s Business Excellence Awards is “Energy and Excellence”, and the awards will recognise organisations and individuals who embody this delicate balance—fusing drive, determination, and innovation with thoughtful strategy, stability, and clarity. This theme celebrates those who inspire through their bold vision and empower through their grounded execution.

The Ipswich Show Society was overwhelmed to receive the Tourism Business/Event Award at the Ipswich Chamber Awards Dinner in 2023.  A successful Ipswich Show is a testament to the tireless contribution of our many volunteers, team members and business partners who make the event a showcase for the city. The Awards provide a platform to recognise and duly acknowledge the efforts of those who make it happen and as President of the Ipswich Show Society, I was proud to accept this on their behalf.
