The event offers a space for suppliers and consumers to connect in new ways

The EVOLVE Auto Festival 2025, presented by hsy, promises to be bigger and better than ever.
The stated goal of hsy is to connect suppliers and customers in innovative ways in the ever-evolving automotive industry.
The company says it works to make sure that technicians, workshops, and business owners are ready to meet their customers’ needs even in the face of rapid industry changes, and with this festival, hsy has created a platform for education, industry connection, and creativity.
The inaugural EVOLVE Auto Festivals were held in 2023 at the Timberyard in Melbourne and in 2024 at the Sea World Resort.
EVOLVE Auto Festival 2025 is set to build on past success with the participation of even more suppliers, industry leaders, technicians, and workshop owners.
This year’s event will be held at the Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast on Saturday, 24 May 2025.
“Our mission is to create an inclusive and collaborative space where the industry comes together to share ideas, explore innovations, and strengthen relationships,” hsy Head of Customer Relationships and Marketing, Nick Redmond, said.
“The growth and success of EVOLVE is a testament to the value it brings to the entire automotive ecosystem.”
A number of suppliers and industry leaders have been announced as participants.
The list includes Valeo, ZF, Bosch, Schaeffler, LIQUI MOLY, VARTA, MAHLE, ATE, Corteco, and Podium.
“We’re proud to bring together such a strong lineup of industry leaders and innovative suppliers. The festival is a reflection of hsy’s commitment to helping workshops stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market,” Nick said.
hsy is also collaborating with various industry and community organisations, including Capricorn, AAAA, The Garage Network (TGN), TAFE QLD, WorldSkills Australia, and MTAQ.
The festival will feature an interactive workshop space called the Hands-On Hub, where suppliers like CRC, Hella Gutmann, MAHA, Sealey,
Pilot Air, Wallmek, and Alemlube will showcase and demonstrate their latest and greatest products.
There will also be expert-led, immersive training sessions on topics such as Future Consumer Trends, EV Safety, and Workshop Planning.
EVOLVE Auto Festival 2025 offers a relaxed environment where participants can not only learn but also share ideas, collaborate, network, and enjoy gourmet food and drinks.
