Consensus Awards 2026 & 25 Year Gala Dinner,
-
About the event
The Consensus Awards 2026 marks 25 years of recognising Australian and New Zealand innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.
Since 2000, the Consensus Awards have identified and celebrated emerging technologies and innovative businesses across Australia, with past winners going on to list publicly, secure major investment, expand globally and be acquired by leading organisations.
On 11 November 2026, Consensus will bring together its community for a landmark 25th Anniversary Awards & Gala Dinner at The Fullerton Hotel Sydney, celebrating 25 years of achievement while introducing the next generation of Consensus Award winners.
The evening will bring together technology founders, entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders, judges, past winners and corporate partners for awards, networking and celebration.
The 2026 program spans key areas of Australian innovation including Software, Innovation, FinTech, MedTech, GreenTech and EdTech.
For sponsors, this is an opportunity to align with an established Australian innovation platform at a significant moment in its history, gain exposure to a highly relevant business and technology audience, and build relationships across the founder, investor and innovation ecosystem.
A limited number of category and major partnership opportunities are currently available for the 2026 Awards and 25th Anniversary Gala.
Why should you sponsor?
The real value of sponsoring the Consensus Awards is the calibre of the people in the room.
The 25th Anniversary Gala will bring together an exceptional cross-section of Australia’s technology and innovation ecosystem — successful founders and entrepreneurs, investors, senior business leaders, technology executives, industry experts, award judges, past Consensus winners and the emerging companies being recognised in 2026.
This is a highly targeted audience of people who build businesses, invest in them, advise them, buy from them and influence the future of Australian innovation.
The Consensus alumni community spans 25 years of Australian technology success, with past winners going on to achieve major commercial growth, international expansion, ASX listings and acquisitions.
For sponsors, the opportunity goes well beyond brand visibility. It provides genuine access to an established network of influential people across technology, investment and business — in an environment specifically designed to encourage introductions, conversations and new commercial relationships.
Sponsors can align with individual award categories including Software, FinTech, MedTech, GreenTech, EdTech and Innovation, or partner with the broader 25th Anniversary celebration.
If your organisation wants to build relationships with Australian founders, technology leaders, investors, innovators and decision-makers, this is a room worth being in.
Dani TillettI’m Dani Tillett, Managing Director and Founder of The Ripe Idea, with more than 22 years’ experience working in marketing, brand, partnerships and commercial strategy across Australia and internationally.
Throughout my career, I have worked with some of the world’s biggest brands, developing and delivering marketing campaigns, brand experiences, partnerships and commercial programs across multiple markets.
My industry experience also extends beyond client work. I have sat on boards for the Institute of Promotional Marketing, judged industry awards and been recognised through numerous industry awards for my own work.
Today, through The Ripe Idea, I work with Australian businesses on commercial strategy, positioning, marketing and growth. I have been engaged by Consensus to lead the strategic relaunch, marketing, partnerships and delivery of the Consensus Awards as the organisation enters its next chapter.
For sponsors, that means you are dealing directly with an experienced senior marketer who understands that successful sponsorship is not about putting a logo on an event. It needs to deliver genuine brand, relationship and commercial value.
That experience is combined with Consensus’ own 25-year history of recognising Australian technology and innovation, its extensive alumni community and longstanding relationships with founders, judges, investors and industry leaders.
The 2026 Awards and 25th Anniversary Gala bring those two things together: an established and credible Australian awards program, backed by experienced commercial leadership and a clear vision for its future.
