The inaugural Data Centres Australia Excellence Awards and Gala Dinner recognise the extraordinary achievements of Australia’s data centre ecosystem, building our presence as a global hub for AI infrastructure investment and sustainable development.
This is a first-of-its-kind national event bringing together senior industry leaders to celebrate genuine achievement in data centre innovation, leadership, and sustainable development.
Australia has already produced world-class data centre companies and we’re capturing the attention of the global AI ecosystem. Our goal is to shine a light on those extraordinary achievements.
