Why enter the Digital Nation Awards? 

In partnership with ADAPT Digital Edge, Digital Nation is recognising individuals who are shaping the future of business by using technology to enhance customer and employee experiences, optimise financial operations, harness the power of data and AI, ensure robust governance and drive enterprise-wide digital transformation.

At Digital Nation, we believe true transformation is only possible through close collaboration between business leadership and IT.

So, on June 24 at The Fullerton, Sydney, we’ll be awarding executives across a variety of categories for their work, ensuring alignment between business strategy and digital capabilities.

By fostering strong partnerships with technology leaders, they bridge the gap between innovation and execution—translating ambitious transformation goals into tangible, scalable outcomes.
