Join us on Tuesday 30th August for the NZACS Annual Awards Night 2022

We are pleased to open registration for the 2022 Peter Jowett and Industry Awards, which will once again be held at the fabulous Hilton Auckland. Join us for an evening of celebration – a chance for our industry to recognise the best among us.

Starting with the Peter Jowett Scholarship for young members to present and challenge the thinking in our industry, and culminating in an awards celebration for our top-performing member companies, this is a chance to network, recognise excellence, and enjoy a great night out.

Introducing our MC and entertainer for the evening: Ben Hurley
