A Who's Who list of 30 of the city's business community has attended a private lunch in the KPMG boardroom to hear from Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate, Gold Coast Suns CEO Mark Evans and the Suns' head of women's football Fiona McLarty.

The lunch, which was held specially for last year's winners of the Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards, was hosted by KMPG Gold Coast partner in charge Adam Twemlow, who serves on the Awards' committee and is also chairman of the judges.

The crowd also heard from Usher Group managing director Theo Vairaktaris, who spoke about his company's pride in winning the Business of the Year title.

Gold Coast Business Excellence Award president Ian Cousin said the private winners' lunch had become a popular tradition for the awards.

"On the night of the gala awards, there's a lot going on and a lot of excitement, so it's difficult for the winner of the annual categories to touch base with each other,'' said Mr Cousins.

"The KPMG lunch allows members to meet and congratulate fellow winners and gives a few members of the awards committee to say congratulations as well."

The 2020 awards are set to be launched in late March, with the entries for the May Awards being due at 5pm, on Wednesday, May 1.
