Core Values Awards Gala Dinner

  Tuesday 28 October 2025
  6:30pm - 11:30pm 
   Plaza Ballroom, Regent Theatre, 191 Collins St, Melbourne

Join us for a night of celebration, conversation, and entertainment at the Core Values Awards Gala Dinner. 

We’ll honour the champions of great engagement as we announce this year’s Major Award winners. Share a table with peers from across the sector, enjoy a three-course meal, and make meaningful connections beyond the conference sessions.

Then hit the dancefloor with Midnight Mix, a dynamic 5-piece band known for turning every event into an unforgettable party. They’ll play the tracks you love and the ones you didn’t know you needed to hear. From pop to rock, RNB to rap, old school to new school - they’ve done it all, including sharing the stage with The Killers, The Veronicas, and Rogue Traders.

It’s a night to celebrate, network, and boogie on down. Don’t miss it.
