Delegate Information

 

The Wire & Gas Training Convention and Trade Show is hosted by VASA (Automotive Air conditioning, Electrical and Cooling Technicians of Australasia) and is the only event totally dedicated to these industry sectors in Australasia. VASA had held highly successful annual Conventions, mainly focused on mobile air conditioning, from 1994 to 2001. In 2002, VASA joined with the then Australian Association of Automotive Electricians to present an event which covered auto electricians as well as air conditioning technicians. These two associations have since merged into VASA and the Wire & Gas Training Convention and Trade Show is now held every two years.

The 2010 event will be held at the RACV Royal Pines Resort, from Friday 11 June to Monday 14 June. The focus is on a first class training program, combined with a vibrant Trade Show, with minimum time devoted to speakers. The theme this year is “tee up for training” reflecting the return of the once popular golf tournament, and the fact that the Royal Pines Resort sits virtually in the centre of the rolling greens of a championship course.

A sub-theme, Learn to Earn, highlights VASA's aim to provide as many trainers as possible to help expand industry knowledge and encourage technicians to engage in continuous skills development.

With a return to developing programs for family and partners, this Convention promises to be an ideal opportunity to keep up to speed with your industry, share knowledge, make new friends and contacts, attend exciting training courses and generally have a good time socially. Those planning to bring family for a winter break, can take advantage of the special Convention room rate for the duration of their stay.
