The piece de resistance, however, was the Gala Awards Dinner at the Adelaide Convention Centre where Branded and Associate Award Winners were recognised for excellence across various categories.

The entertainment didn’t fail to impress with former Hunters & Collectors frontman Mark Seymour an exciting surprise guest performer on the night.
