The 6th annual ARN IT Industry Awards will be held on September 19, as in years past, at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney.
This year, the awards celebrate ARN’s 21st birthday and for the first time will be a black tie event. We are particularly excited about this year’s incarnation as we are planning the best ever awards night yet – an appropriate way to celebrate our birthday!
As ever, we are constantly working to make the awards as relevant as possible. As part of this growth, this year’s ARN awards will recognise those companies that are going above and beyond to give back to the community.
Included in the 2012 Categories are 22 regular awards and the Hall of Fame. There will also be three new awards this year. They are:
The Corporate Citizenship reward goes to a company that is actively working with charities, undertaking philanthropic initiatives and using its resources and capabilities for the betterment of the underprivileged.
The Sustainability award recognises a company that works hard to minimise its customers, and its own, impact on the environment. From reducing power usage, to sustainable recycling practices, the Sustainability award will go to the company making real investments and progress in keeping the world healthy.
Finally, ARN will recognise an individual who has been fighting the good fight. The Channel Champion is an individual who has, outside of his or her daily working life, been heavily involved in charities, non-profits or personal philanthropy.
Now without further adieu:
