THE SHORTLIST FOR THE AUSTRALIAN FRAUD AWARDS 2025…

Take just three simple steps to get the best deal AND the best seats in the house…

The Australian Fraud Awards – sponsored by Sensormatic – has become the Oscars of the risk management industry. Following Retail Risk – Sydney on February 27 2025, the black tie Gala Dinner is where some of the most prestigious and career enhancing accolades are bestowed upon the fortunate few.

Whether your achievements are recognised on the night or not, the Australian Fraud Awards remains the best social networking event on our industry calendar.

Fraud Awards tables are being assigned on a first come first served basis. To secure the best table(s) and the best deal, take these three easy steps…

1. Click HERE and choose your first and second table preferences from the plan.
2. Click the ‘RESERVE’ button on the page and send us the reference numbers for your two choices (first and second preferences). Be sure to give us two choices for each table. So, if you want two tables then give us four choices.
3. Sign and return the paperwork that we send to complete your booking!

That’s it. Simples!

Don’t wait. Do it today and make sure that you get the table locations you really want. Working on a first come first served basis means that everyone has the same chance to secure their preferred locations, but those who act quickly will clearly get a better choice than those who do not.

Remember, if you snooze… you lose!
