I was thinking of making the trip up there, but everything just added to to too much and tickets to walk around, nah not worth it. They do t even tell you exactly what / who’s talking.

Full programme has been on the website for a while.
Not many of the car companies exhibiting though they've seemingly sourced a lot of models for display/ test drives separately.
Some discount codes floating around with various YouTubers, and I think NRMA.
Plus, as an NRMA Member, you save 30% on entry using promocode NRMAFCL30.*
I bought tickets for both days immediately when they became available, so I missed the discounts.
I still think it's worth it if you intend to make your home more efficient as it's not just EVs anymore and there's a lot of home efficiency and technology on display. Home energy will be my focus, but I will look at the new EVs too and I'm making a list of talks to go to as well.

I'll actually drop the key pages here.
All the exhibitors (I love the declined to participate section).
A couple of other no-shows for me are Chargefox and Engie.
And then the Theatres..
Note that there are Four different venues the main Giga and Mega Theatres, and then the separate HEAT and Fully Charged Business sites.

It's hard to shake the idea that this is an event by the wealthy for the wealthy. Class warfare by stealth.
Nothing about rideshare (have you seen how many Polestars with SPL plates are sporting an Uber sticker?) and the bums-in-seats effect?
Next to nothing about renters (20 minutes at the HEAT stand, whatever that is).
Nothing about the working class, whether it's low incomes or vehicles used for work.
Nothing about the welfare class, or about the disabled. Though the lack of accessibility at charging stations around those silly bollards isn't a huge topic of discussion for a convention audience.
One session that's potentially about people living in flats "no driveway no problem", but it's more likely that session is about rich people living in older suburbs that pre-date driveways and garages stringing extension cords across a public footpath.
Though on the topic of class warfare, one session jumped out: "shouldn't we be making more out of walking & cycling?". Apparently the working poor, the welfare class, and the disabled, can get out and walk.

Unsure what you expect, these events are to make money, nothing else. This event isnt about accessability/disability or enabling it.
I’m planning to go, only on the Saturday though.
Really? That’s a rather long and unsubstantiated bow to draw. I’m sure they deliberately set out to offend and marginalise those whom they have deemed insufficiently worthy
.
How about sending them an email with a list of suggested topics for next year, and offer to present a session about your experiences as a long term EV rideshare driver? That would be more constructive than a rant.

I love it too - no hiding behind the PR machine on that. Those who declined to participate can hardly complain they have been named.
They mostly appear to be all the car companies. Maybe they are saving up their shekels for the next auto show. I know it costs companies a lot of money to be exhibitors at events like this. Also what would they say? “Sorry, you can’t order an EV from us, no supply and a 12 month wait” (Tesla excepted). Not a good look.

I'll be there on Sunday. I'm happy to pay to go, as they have provided plenty of entertainment to me from their YouTube channels.

I saw a YouTube channel with about 800 subscribers with their own discount code. I doubt anyone is paying full price to get into this thing!

TOCA members can email the Club and ask for a 100% discount coupon code. Might be leaving it a bit late tho'
