2026 SC Business Awards Gala registration

Time: 5.30pm -  Midnight 

Location: Sunshine Coast Convention Centre, 270 Ocean Dr, Twin Waters

The Sunshine Coast Business Awards — the region’s longest-running business awards program — has proudly celebrated business success since 1995. Now in its 31st year, the Awards continue to recognise the extraordinary businesses and individuals driving innovation, resilience, and growth across our region.

Each year, the Awards journey culminates in the spectacular Sunshine Coast Business Awards Gala — one of the most anticipated events on the business calendar. This prestigious evening brings together more than 850 business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community champions from across the Coast to celebrate achievement, collaboration, and excellence.

On the night, we honour our finalists, announce the category winners, and crown the prestigious title of Business of the Year. This milestone celebration promises to be the biggest and most memorable Gala yet — a showcase of the passion, partnerships, and success that define the Sunshine Coast.
