Nonetheless, the point is that from my first day in Australia I had heard about the "IT Journo Awards" and I knew that it was THE party. So of course I was looking forward to this year's IT Journo Awards!
Upon arrival, it was clearly a stylish event as there was a red carpet and a photographer taking each arrival's photo. The awards ceremony was upbeat and full of cheering from a community of journalists that as JV (the big winner of the evening) stated so well - most had worked with or for over the years.
Here I am with my fashion icon friend and colleague Emma who was a finalist for Best Media Relations (Emma's nomination stands out as it's a vote by the journalists and she was the only in-house PR manager) and the PR manager at VMware. The dress I'm wearing is from Ginger and Smart and the shoes from Mimco - both of which I selected with Emma's help. Thank you Emma, you're a fashion goddess and #1 media relations in my book!
And here's Emma, myself, Tahn (AAPT PR) and Karen (Upstream PR) at the IT Journo Awards:
red Carpet- nice. So what about the party? Did it live up to expectations 3am etc...
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention it in the blog, but I did party until 3 a.m. After the IT journo awards, a bunch of us went to a pub near Central Station and then onwards to karaoke. They even had my favorite Japanese song from when I was at ICU - Say Yes - which I did sing (poorly).
