Geelong Business Excellence Awards to go virtual for Awards night 2020!
Published 2 June 2020
The Geelong Business Excellence Awards has announced its awards presentation evening will transform into an exciting virtual experience in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Geelong Business Excellence Awards is designed to recognise and celebrate our clever, creative and thriving business and business leaders.
The prestigious presentation evening will take place online on Thursday, 15 October 2020, 7pm. The night promises a highly produced, glamorous virtual event that celebrates the success of the Geelong business community.
The new format aims to engage viewers with entertainment, an in studio MC and home competition prizes. The night will allow guests to engage, communicate and connect with fellow business colleagues, peers and the wider Geelong community while dressing up in the comfort of their own home or workplace.
Geelong Chamber CEO Ben Flynn said “the event will deliver a much-needed boost of positivity for the Geelong Business community amid the COVID-19 crisis.”
“In the face of the current health pandemic, the purpose of the awards remains the same. We are creating a platform to shine the spotlight on our clever and creative Geelong businesses and business leaders.”
Whilst mass gathering restrictions may ease by October, the Geelong Chamber of Commerce believes it is important to continue with a virtual event in-case of another potential out-break. The safety of our guests is of most importance. Most of our counterparts in other local regional towns have cancelled their awards night. We are committed to bringing our community together this year virtually, to offer positivity in these challenging times and have been encouraged to do so.
The support of our partners makes this new format possible and it’s a testament to the resilience of the Geelong Business Community that we can adapt and enjoy our night together despite the challenges.
The Geelong Chamber of Commerce has run many successful online events and they are confident in delivering a memorable event to a much larger online audience.
This will allow the event to be more inclusive of families and colleagues so that more people can share in the excitement of the finalists on the night.
The awards team have spent weeks individually calling businesses who have been nominated or expressed interested in the program. It has been incredibly inspiring to hear despite the hardship, the Geelong business community are committed to adapt and forge ahead. During this period, many of the entrants are using the awards entry process to reflect on their business and plan for the future.
Entries for the Geelong Business Excellence Awards close on the 24 July 2020. You do not need to be nominated to enter the program. To learn more information or enter, visit www.gbea.com.au and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
