Tickets on sale for automotive AC conference

For the first time, this year’s event will be co-hosted by the Automotive Air Conditioning, Electrical and Cooling Technicians of Australasia (VASA) and The Automotive Technician (TaT) under the theme “better together”.

The event brings together automotive air conditioning technicians, auto electricians and thermal management specialists from across Australia and New Zealand.

VASA and TaT members can register for $995 + GST, with non-member tickets priced at $1,195 + GST. A social pass covering the Friday cocktail party and trade show plus the Saturday gala awards dinner is available for $349 + GST.

Non-members have the option to purchase discounted VASA or TaT membership at registration to unlock member pricing and ongoing benefits.

Better together

VASA President Brett Meads says the TaT partnership had raised the bar for what Wire & Gas could deliver.

“TaT and VASA have a long history of collaboration and share a common goal: supporting automotive technicians and workshop owners to build their skills and grow their businesses,” Meads says.

“By combining our networks and expertise, we can deliver a bigger, better Wire & Gas with high-quality training, new topics and more opportunities for technicians to connect with their peers and industry partners. This is what ‘better together’ is all about.”

TaT co-founder Jeff Smit says the programme reflected the combined training strengths of both organisations.

“Wire & Gas has established itself as the must-attend event for the auto electrical and air conditioning trades, and we’re thrilled to be joining forces with VASA to take it to the next level,” Smit says.

“TaT will be bringing our training expertise, presenter network and broad membership base to the table, with a focus on delivering practical, hands-on sessions that attendees can take straight back to the workshop.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming both VASA and TaT members, and the broader industry, to Brisbane in July.”
