For over a decade, the iTnews Benchmark Awards have given organisations, their IT leaders and teams an opportunity to gain recognition for their ambition, innovation and the value they have delivered to government, industry and the public.
This year's enhanced program provides extensive networking opportunities including a conference session where finalists can share their success stories, leverage learnings and uncover insights from their peers, while sponsors lead and facilitate group discussions with their attendees.
In 2026 the iTnews Benchmark Awards will deliver its largest enterprise IT awards program yet, not only recognising the best IT projects within Australia over the past year but also the people who have inspired the industry through growth, change and adversity.
