We hope you attended the IT Rockstar finale, which happened on May 21st, from 5:30pm on the top floor of the Majestic Centre.

Winner of IT Rockstar: Adam BrownPublic voting for the top IT professional opened on 23rd April and closed on 7th May. The top prize was a $10,000 all expenses paid trip, awarded on the night, to attend an IT conference - the winner, Adam Brown, chose the event they wanted to attend.

A packed house came to drink champagne as the finalists pitched themselves to the audience and the Judges:

All were entertained by the MC Jason Pine, and stayed to play Guitar Hero on the big screen.  The spot prizes, champange and pizza went down a treat, topped off with the majestic view from Level 28 of the tallest building in Wellington.

Spot prizes, champagne...and pizza.. Another UP classic, thanks to 920. Photos will be UP soon, but in the meantime, tell us your experience....

  • Unfortunately Gregg withdrew from the competition during the voting period - he had a great story and was well on track to be a contender for the Top 3 - Nathan @ 920

  • What happened to Gregg Nelson? He was by far the most inspirational contestant

  • Was a great night, it's just a little suprising that none of the tricky questions asked were IT related though!
    A crash course on Guitar Hero would have been helpful too i'd assume :]

  • Wow, what a night! Never seen so much pizza eaten, and I'm amazed we managed to recycle so many bottles. Highlight of the evening was the view out the window - and the networking. gutted Nick Breeze missed the top spot but a great final three. Thanks 920 and UP for a good night!
