Northern Business Achievement Awards: Grand Finale Gala Dinner 2026
Join us for the prestigious Northern Business Achievement Awards (NBAA) Grand Finale Gala Dinner 2026, where we celebrate the outstanding businesses and individuals driving innovation, excellence and economic growth across Melbourne’s north.
The Northern Business Achievement Awards are a partnership between industry, education, local and state government, and key decision-makers committed to recognising and supporting business success throughout the region. Throughout the year, quarterly breakfast events showcase nominated businesses from Banyule, Darebin, Hume, Merri-bek, Nillumbik and Whittlesea, providing valuable exposure to an audience of more than 200 business and community leaders. The Gala Dinner marks the culmination of the program, where the 2026 category winners and overall award recipients are announced.
Guests will enjoy an evening of networking, recognition and celebration while connecting with leaders from across Melbourne’s north. The event brings together businesses, government representatives, industry partners and stakeholders to acknowledge the achievements that continue to strengthen our region’s economy and inspire future success.
We are delighted to welcome Cathy McGowan, a Vice Chancellor’s Fellow of La Trobe University and an Officer in the Order of Australia, as our special guest. Cathy will share her insights on courageous leadership, community-driven change and creating lasting impact, offering an inspiring perspective for businesses, leaders and changemakers alike.
Whether you’re supporting a finalist, celebrating regional success or looking to expand your professional network, the NBAA Grand Finale Gala Dinner is an evening not to be missed.
