NTIA Stars to shine bright at Finalists Event at The Star’s Leisure Deck

Following the huge success of the 2024 NTIA Finalists celebration at Madame Tussauds in Sydney, the 2025 NTIA Finalists are set for a cracker of an evening at The Star’s Leisure Deck thanks to the ongoing generous sponsorship of Viking. 

Thanks to the generous support of Viking, the Finalists-only event promises an unforgettable evening of celebration, networking, and anticipation ahead of Saturday’s glittering NTIA Gala. 

The Finalists’ Celebration has fast become one of the most anticipated traditions of the NTIAs, offering finalists the chance to connect, relax, and share the excitement of being recognised among the best in the business. First introduced in 2023, the event has grown into a highlight of the NTIA calendar, with past attendees rating it as a unique opportunity to make industry connections and celebrate their achievements before the big night. 

This year, the celebrations will be elevated to new heights at The Star’s iconic Leisure Deck, setting the scene for a spectacular lead-in to the Gala on Saturday 18 October. The event forms part of an exciting industry week in Brisbane, which also includes ATIA’s Beyond Borders Summit on Friday 17 October. 

ATIA extends its sincere thanks to Viking for once again championing the industry by sponsoring this special event.
