Gala Dinner

Wednesday 14 June 2023, 7:00pm – 11:00pm

Great Room, W Brisbane Hotel

The annual Gala Dinner – to be held in the Great Room (pictured below) of the W Hotel Brisbane – is a much anticipated event throughout the Disability Employment Services sector. Guests will enjoy fine food and drinks at a formal, three-course dinner, along with music to dance the night away to. We encourage delegates to come dressed in your glamorous and brilliant best!

The evening will also feature the Hall of Fame Award Ceremony, acknowledging excellence, innovation and long-term commitment to the evolution of disability employment in Australia (see some of 2022’s inductees below).

Following 2022’s fantastic event, we expect to enjoy the evening with up to 200 guests. The 2023 Gala Dinner will be a great night of amazing food, networking, dancing, drinks and fun. Don’t forget to book in when registering for the conference!
