23 October 2025: We’re aware of reports in the news regarding a fire at the venue. We want to assure you that we have received confirmation from the hotel that tonight’s event will proceed as planned. The situation was quickly contained, and there is no impact on the event spaces or guest safety.
The 2degrees Auckland Business Awards Gala Dinner is where finalists come together to celebrate the success of being a finalist and the team who made it happen!
This black-tie evening is more than an awards ceremony. It’s a celebration of grit, ideas, and the businesses driving our city forward. Across the night, we’ll honour winners in nine categories before announcing the Supreme Business Excellence Award for the region.
Business isn’t always easy — it takes resilience, creativity, and determination to keep moving forward. That’s why simply being named a finalist in the 2degrees Auckland Business Awards is such a powerful recognition. It signals that your business is standing out, doing remarkable things, and making an impact that deserves to be celebrated.
