Tickets are now on sale for Wire & Gas 2026, with a three-day program of training, networking and industry updates at The Westin Brisbane from July 31 to August 2.
The event is co-hosted for the first time by VASA and The Automotive Technician (TaT) under the theme ‘Better Together’.
It 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 plus GST, with non-member tickets priced at $1,195 plus GST. A Social Pass covering the Friday cocktail party and trade show plus the Saturday Gala Awards Dinner is available for $349 plus GST.
Non-members have the option to purchase discounted VASA or TaT membership at registration to unlock member pricing and ongoing benefits.
VASA President Brett Meads said 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 said.
“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 said 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 said.
“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.”
