Live blog from NSW Export Awards

Hello from Dave and Alicia at the export awards ceremony at Star City! Well, we were up for Young Exporter of the Year but we didn’t win tonight… Of course we are having a good time anyway! Just listened to Premier Christine Keneally speak with Aussie-USA morphed accent. A bit like Tango Media, I guess! (For the non Australians, Keneally is like the governor of the state. She has one Aussie parent and one American parent and grew up in the US, hence the weird accent.) The morphed accent will probably happen to Alicia too, at some stage…

We are seated at a great table of VERY fun people from Pactel, HSBC Bank, Adaptronic, and Rabo Bank. While we are all thrilled to be nominated, none of us have won in our categories. And I think we all figured that out early on, as we are seated at the back of the room. Sort of like the rowdy table of errant cousins at a wedding… but no mind, we are having a blast! And of course, we are thrilled to be nominated. And quite pleased that we can relax and have a few drinks once the winners in our respective categories are announced… By the way, a big hat tip to the super guys at PCT Global / EnduroShield who did win their category of Small to Medium Manufacturer!

Anyway, thanks for checking in… we’ll keep you posted on the next escapade. Cheers from Tango Media!
