Double Awards Season at the Park Hyatt Melbourne

It’s been a huge Awards Season — and both events just happened to unfold in the same spectacular setting: the Park Hyatt Melbourne.

🏆 Event 1: AWCI – Australia & New Zealand Awards

The AWCI Australia & New Zealand Awards celebrated excellence across the wall and ceiling industry — from skilled apprentices to industry veterans and life members.

I had the privilege of co-hosting with the brilliant Jordana Borensztajn, whose energy and creativity made the night unforgettable. When the MCs are having fun, the crowd feels it too — and the vibe in the room was electric.

A huge thank-you to Madeline Hardie, Nhi Doan and CEO Simon Tengende for their outstanding organisation, leadership and warmth. It was a night that showcased the pride, craftsmanship and camaraderie that make this industry so special.

🔒 Event 2: ASIAL – 2025 Australian Security Industry Awards

Just days later, I was back in the same ballroom — but with a completely different crowd and energy. The ASIAL Australian Security Industry Awards brought together the elite of Australia’s security sector to recognise those who quietly keep us all safe.

For this one, I created bespoke pre-event videos and added a few of my signature interactive audience moments to lift the room’s energy — and they absolutely went off!

Big thanks to Katie Ashford and Brenda Jackson from ASIAL’s marketing and communications team for being such pros and making the whole process seamless.

💫 Final Thanks

A massive shout-out to Celebrity Speakers Bureau Australia — Nicole Westbury and Suzanne Gage — for trusting me with both events and taking such good care of me.

Two industries. Two unforgettable nights.One spectacular venue.That’s what I call a very good week at the office!
