This award show, which debuted at AWNewYork 2019, honours rising stars of the advertising and marketing industry. Winners will be selected based on a combination of proven achievements: demonstrable ability to affect organisational change, commitment to external impact, ability to mentor others and professional endorsements.

Join us as we kick off #AWAPAC23 with a celebration of excellence where we get together to honour the women who are leading our industry. The crowd is mid-senior level and filled with decision-makers from publishers to agencies to brands — the guest list is packed. It’s a smaller event, so networking will be easy.

Research shows that adding women to the C-suite makes a company better, and businesses have endeavoured toward gender equality in leadership roles. Still, gender diversity on executive teams can be improved. Similarly, interest in women’s sports is on the rise and compensation parity and media visibility will encourage continued growth. Whether to support a woman climbing toward the C-suite or female athlete breaking through to the spotlight, the goal is the same — communities must join the fight so women can win together.

The Culture & Commerce Lunch Series similarly draws a senior-level audience and is a chance to experience great content and delicious food whilst networking at Mary’s Underground. Most lunch attendees will take a break from the day of programming at Luna Park.
