This is a great chance to learn more about the automotive industry and the latest advancements, while mingling with like-minded people.

Fantastic food

With all of the excitement, you’re bound to work up an appetite. Luckily, Takopo will be on site with a food truck, serving up a wide range of culinary creations to keep you satisfied. We’re talking Takoyaki, flamed salmon nigiri, tempura, and much more. Delish!

Several Manning Town Centre restaurants and eateries will also have booths to check out on the day. Grab a slice from Blaze Pizza or enjoy a sweet treat at Maverick’s Donuts — there’s something for everyone!
