The EVOLVE Auto Festival Returns to Melbourne in 2026
The EVOLVE Auto Festival is back for 2026, and this year it’s bigger, sharper and built for workshops that want to stay ahead.
Taking place on Saturday, 15 August in Melbourne, EVOLVE brings together the best of technical training, industry insight and automotive culture into one full day of hands-on learning and connection.
This is not a trade show. It’s a practical, real-world experience designed for workshop owners and technicians who want to improve, adapt and grow.
1 Day. 3 Events. One Unmissable Experience.
EVOLVE 2026 is built around three key experiences, each designed to deliver something different across the day.
Cars & Coffee
Start the day at the Fox Classic Car Museum with a relaxed morning alongside a curated collection of European and performance vehicles.
It’s a chance to connect with others in the industry, grab a coffee and ease into the day before the training begins.
Technical Training
The core of EVOLVE is high-impact, hands-on technical training delivered at Kangan Institute.
Work directly on real vehicles, use the latest tools and learn from leading suppliers and industry experts. Every session is built to give you practical skills you can take straight back into your workshop.
This is where theory meets real application.
EVOLVE After Dark
Once the training wraps up, the conversation continues.
Join us back at the Fox Classic Car Museum for an evening of networking, drinks and live entertainment. It’s a relaxed environment to connect with suppliers, workshop owners and peers, and continue the discussions from the day.
