2024 National Pearcey Awards and Queensland Entrepreneur Award Gala Dinner
Keynote Presenter: Emeritus Professor Roy Green AM, Special Innovation Advisor at UTS and CSIRO Board member
This year, the Pearcey National Awards and the Queensland ICT Entrepreneur Award will be held at a Gala Dinner in sunny Queensland.
This marks only the second time Queensland has hosted the National Awards.
On this must-attend evening in the ICT industry calendar, the recipients of the following prestigious awards will be announced:
- Queensland ICT Entrepreneur Award
- National Pearcey Entrepreneur Award
- Hall of Fame Inductees
- The coveted Pearcey Medal
Join us in celebrating the outstanding individuals whose careers have significantly advanced the Australian and global ICT industry. We will honour those who have made remarkable contributions to ICT research, industry, and professional development, recognising their exceptional impact and the high standards of excellence they set.
In addition, this year’s event coincides with the 75th anniversary of a major milestone in Australian ICT history: the first code run on CSIRAC, the first Australian digital computers (4th in the entire world!). To mark this historic achievement and honour the pioneering contributions of Dr. Trevor Pearcey to the Australian ICT landscape, we are honoured to welcome Emeritus Professor Roy Green AM, Special Innovation Advisor at UTS and CSIRO Board member, as our keynote speaker. Professor Green’s father, the foundation professor of maths and physics at the University of Adelaide, was one of the earliest users of CSIRAC.
