Showcasing and Recognising

Digital Innovation

The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) is proud to showcase and recognise

Digital Innovation through the iAwards. The iAwards is the premier digital awards program of

its type in Australia with the largest number of nominees, highest calibre of judges, and support

from multiple Premiers. In 2016 we are delivering an energetic and agile program to benefit AIIA

members, nominees, sponsors and other leaders in the digital economy.

With innovation now on the top of Australia’s national policy agenda, the iAwards categories

have been refreshed to focus on the key purpose or market for each nominated innovation; and

to reflect ongoing changes in the digital economy.

In 2016, a prestigious series of State and Territory based awards ceremonies and gala functions

will be held featuring State and Territory Premiers and Ministers and will also feature compelling

speakers including:

As a flagship program of the AIIA, the iAwards creates an esteemed recognition and social forum

for industry representatives from corporate Australia, academia, start-up and government

sectors to come together and celebrate innovation applied to high value market needs.
