The Telecommunications Industry Excellence Awards (formerly The ACOMMS) has firmly established itself as the telecoms sector’s night-of-nights, where industry comes together to recognise achievement and celebrate success.

Presented by Communications Alliance, providing a unified voice for the Australian telecommunications industry since 2006, the Awards have been providing an opportunity to recognise and celebrate individuals and organisations from across the sector who have achieved extraordinary success throughout the year, across a range of categories.
