As WA’s longest-running awards event, INCITE is more than a celebration — it’s a showcase of excellence that inspires and unites the WA technology community.
The gala, held July 19, 2024 honoured outstanding achievements across government, academia, and the private sector.
WAITTA in collaboration with digital media partner Cohesion Co launched Insightful Conversations - a mini-series podcast on YouTube, profiling INCITE Awards winners. Watch all 4 episodes on YouTube.
The 2024 Game Changer Awards showcased the creativity and innovation of Western Australian students as they presented their STEM-driven ideas and solutions to real-world challenges.
Aligned with the United Nations' 17 Sustainability Goals, the event encouraged young minds to tackle pressing global issues through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The 2024 Putt4Dough charity IT golf event was another standout, supporting the Perth Children's Hospital Foundation's PROTECT program.
The event featured special guest Matt Hale, Australia's Comedy Hypnotist, and thanks to the tech industry and community, we raised $82,000 this year for PCHF.
