Adrad Industry Conference 2024

The 2024 Adrad Industry Conference was held from Thurs 29 – Sat 31 August at the Pullman International Hotel in Cairns, QLD.

Over 130 people attended this outstanding and successful event, with Natrad Franchise (Natrad Official) workshops from across Australia participating, along with independent radiator repairers, several key suppliers, and special guest presenters.

The Adrad Conference is a unique opportunity for cooling specialists to receive the latest product information, meet with suppliers, and be coached on how to optimise and grow their business. Highlights from the weekend include presentations from Brian McDonald (Procore International & Micon Industries - Canada), Jeff Smit and Geoff Mutton (TAT), Adrad manufacturing and product development, a supplier expo, and Green Island Tour. Special celebrity guest presenter, Craig Lowndes (ZF Product and Technical Expert), spoke on Saturday morning and also attended the closing Gala Awards Dinner.

Most of the delegates and suppliers are regulars who have been attending the Adrad Conference for many years. This helps to generate a positive atmosphere, strong camaraderie, and support across the group.

Special thanks to sponsors Pronto Woven, DENSO Auto Parts Australia, Valeo, Koyorad & TOLL, along with exhibitors & supporters ZF Services Australia, Procore International, Delphi, FRAM, TMD Friction, GMB, the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association, Air Radiators, Mackay Hoses, Access Workwear & Safety, Chiron Coolants, and Tridon Australia.

Planning is already underway for Adrad’s next conference in 2025.
