Wire & Gas tickets on sale NOW!

Secure your tickets now for Wire & Gas 2024, the Main Event in Asia-Pacific for those working in the increasingly crucial automotive thermal management and electrical sectors.

The VASA board has worked hard to provide a compelling delegate package with ticket prices almost a third lower than Wire & Gas 2022 while the number of expert speakers and trainers will increase by as much as 20 per cent.

Scheduled for August 23-25, the 2024 Wire & Gas convention will take place at The Westin Brisbane (111 Mary Street in the CBD), providing easier access and a broader choice of transport options for attendees than the traditional Gold Coast location, with a choice of five-star and four-star accommodation options to suit your budget.

Truly living up to the Wire & Gas promise of world-class training and education, a huge and diverse programme of presentations, seminars and panel sessions, this year’s event will feature experts in hybrid and electric vehicles, air-conditioning, electrical, thermal management, business, the regulatory environment, emerging technological trends and much, much more.

In addition to the successful Wire & Gas networking opportunities and popular trade show, the Saturday night Gala Awards dinner will for the first time incorporate the Australian Refrigeration Council’s new annual ARCtick Award for Best Refrigerant Management (mobile sector), as well as the inaugural REDARC Young Technician of the Year Award and new Grant Hand Industry Mentor Award.

Ticket prices are as follows:

Wire & Gas 2024 will host the official launch of Cool Mavericks, the world’s most comprehensive history book on the topic of automotive air-conditioning. A glittering cocktail party on the opening evening will celebrate this significant publication with a bespoke beverage created to honour the book’s title and the people featured within its pages. The convention will also recognise 30 years of VASA as the voice of our industry.
