The spotlight is ready to shine on local businesses with the Geelong Business Excellence Awards virtual event on October 15 at 7pm.
With a live broadcast from the Geelong Arts Centre, the event will have an in-studio MC and a format that aims to engage and entertain viewers.
Designed to recognise and celebrate Geelong’s clever and creative business community, this year’s awards night will be a well-deserved fun and uplifting celebration.
Geelong Chamber chief executive Ben Flynn says the event will deliver a much-needed boost of positivity for the Geelong business community amid the COVID-19 crisis.
“The purpose of the GBEA remains the same, pandemic or not,” he says. “We’re about creating a platform to shine the spotlight on our clever, creative and resilient Geelong businesses and business leaders.
“We are committed to bringing our community together this year virtually, to offer positivity in these challenging times.”
The night won’t be without glitz and glam, with a competition prize on offer for people dressing up and celebrating the evening at home or at their workplace.
Guests will be able to engage on the night via Facebook, communicate and connect with fellow business colleagues, peers and the wider Geelong community.
There are plenty of options to stream the event. Auslan interpreters will be involved to ensure the presentation is inclusive and accessible.
To watch the awards you can either register your attendance at www.gbea.com.au/virtualevent and options on how you can watch the awards will be sent to you, or you can connect to the Geelong Business Excellence Awards Facebook page or Channel 31 on the night.
