September 5, 2023
On Saturday, August 5th, 300 guests from across the country gathered at the Plaza Ballroom in Melbourne, dressed in their finest black-tie attire, to raise a toast to an exceptional achievement – a quarter century of us serving the IT landscape
The gala brought together our amazing community of past and present blueAPACHEans, strategic partners, and our valued clients, all of whom have played an integral role in shaping blueAPACHE into what we are today. The festivities included a range of performances, including comedian Jimmy Rees, which added to the celebratory atmosphere that continued well into the night.
We’d like to thank our gala sponsors, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, nbn® Australia and HP for their ongoing partnership and support. A special shout out to Vice President and Managing Director of HPE South Pacific, Chris Weber and Chief Security Officer of nbn Australia, Darren Kane for their valuable contributions to our “25 Years of Kicking aaS” industry panel.
It was undeniably a night to remember, and we want to express our gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey from 1998 to 2023.
