The TravelManagers 2017 award winners were unveiled at the stunning gala ceremony on Saturday night.

Held at the Sky City Casino in sunny Darwin, PTMs got gussied up and danced the night away under the stars, but not before a bunch of deserving agents were recognised for their devoted hard work.

And of course, TravelManagers 2018 annual conference was revealed to be heading to Hawaii, which was a huge crowd pleaser for agents looking to attend.

Catch all the pics from the conference here.

Now without further ado, here are the 2017 winners:
