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.
In 2023 the theme of our awards is ‘Region of Opportunity’. We will highlight the numerous business opportunities on offer in the fast-growing Ipswich region and celebrate the industries which are central to Ipswich’s growth and prosperity.
We will share with the rest of Queensland and beyond, the immense talent on offer in local businesses and explain why Ipswich is the place to do business.
