Congrats to Matt!

IAA would like to congratulate our Board Chair, Matthew Enger, who was recognised at the 2024 ACOMM Awards, winning the Communications Ambassador Award. This coveted award recognises outstanding individuals who show strong leadership and make a significant and visible contribution to the Australian communications industry.

The annual Australian Communications Industry Awards – the ACOMMS – recognise excellence in the wider communications industry. Hosted by Communications Alliance, the role of Communications Ambassador is considered the industry’s most prestigious accolade.

As Chair of our Board and Member of the NZIX Committee, we see how hard Matt works for our community and are thrilled that he has been recognised through this award.

The IAA Team attended the Awards Dinner in Sydney where the evening’s keynote address was delivered by the Federal Minister for Communications, The Hon. Michelle Rowland MP. It was a memorable evening, and we could not be more proud of Matt! Well done to all the winners!

Data Centre Real Estate Summit

In May, our CEO, Narelle Clark, gave a presentation at the Data Centre Real Estate Summit in Sydney. Whilst data centres were once considered an alternative asset class, they are becoming more sought after by investors.

The Data Centre Real Estate Summit focused on real estate and investment strategies, bringing together all the key global and local players to discuss the national data centre market, new developments and acquisitions, supply and demand dynamics, construction, development, and design trends.

Narelle gave an informative and, by all accounts, entertaining talk on the evolution of data centre design and advancements in technology and solutions. Her insights underscored the critical role data centres play in today’s digital economy. She closed by putting the audience’s skills to the test, to see how good they were at identifying a data centre when they saw one.

Head to this IAA YouTube clip of the talk to test your skills.
