According to organisers, Kekovich (pictured) – a former Australian Rules football player who is now a media personality best known for his involvement with television show The Fat and numerous radio and advertising gigs –  “will bring his unique brand of ‘in your face’ humour to the Awards night”, which will be held at the Palladium Ballroom at Crown Casino.

Kekovich joins fellow television personalities Larry Emdur and Gorgi Quill, who will be hosting the event.

NPA chairman Scott Telfer described the event as “the perfect opportunity to relax, catch up and celebrate what our industry is capable of”.

“Tickets to the dinner are already selling fast and, with so many people in Melbourne for PacPrint, demand is expected to remain high, so if you intend to be there, don’t wait – book your ticket now,” Telfer said.

“As Sam would say, ‘you know it makes sense’.”

Tickets can be reserved by visiting the NPA website or by contacting Lynne Trensky at Printing Industries on (03) 8541 7360.
