APPLAUSE25 | Oh what a night!

What. A. Night!

APPLAUSE25 delivered big energy, big moments and big smiles.

The night was filled with may moments providing an opportunity to connect, celebrate and reflect on the accomplishments of 2025, and look forward to opportunities in 2026.

This is how we celebrated at APPLAUSe25.

Inspiring speakers lit up the room, including:
• The Hon. Chris Picton MP, Minister for Health and Wellbeing

• Dr Justin Coombs, Chief Executive Officer AusHealth

The action packed night also included:

  • The highly anticipated screening of the APPLAUSE25 Celebration Reel showcasing a year of wins, milestones and momentum.
  • Guests were greeted by a warm welcome in the CMAX Clinical Research Phase One Lounge.
  • To team from the new The Adelaide University invited guests to test their luck on the Wheel of Research Fate (where yes, every spin really was a win!). If a ame of fate was not your style guests were invited to take on a Quick Quiz Challenge testing our sharpest minds.
  • The room was rocking with live sets from Adelaide’s own pop-rock band Peggy Jean, thanks to AusHealth.
  • It wouldn’t be an Adelaide event without a connection to LIV Golf, and the FB Rice Patent Pathway Party Putt did not disappoint. The three-putt station included , The Commercialisation Curve, The  IP Fortress and The Filing Frenzy. (with winners taking home LIV Golf tickets).
  • And back by popular demand, the Radium Capital Ginnovation Bar, serving up custom cocktails – R&D&T and Capital Spritz.
  • And of course… the photo booth chaos. I think we may have had a new winner for most people in a pic!
