GSF opens trade registrations for TechFest North
4th March 2026: GSF Car Parts is excited to announce that registrations are now open for TechFest North, which takes place at the Utilita Arena, Newcastle on Thursday 28th May.
Utilita Arena Newcastle is the North East’s premier venue for exhibitions and events, giving GSF a world-class platform for its first TechFest of 2026. All trade tickets are free of charge, and include free parking, food, entertainment and industry insights delivered by popular TechTalks, providing the latest industry and technical insight to help garages thrive in 2026 and beyond.
In 2026, TechFest is back with three unmissable events that are completely free for the trade to attend. It’s the first time Newcastle will host a TechFest, joining Coventry and Wembley as the three locations for this year’s events which will bring together the very best of what the aftermarket has to offer.
Guests can enjoy access to leading suppliers and powerful networking opportunities. There’s also free award-winning catering, and free parking.
Each TechFest will be home to unmissable special offers on the night, alongside a range of TechFest merchandise available to buy.
Doors open at 3pm to give garages the chance to visit after work and enjoy the full lineup of activities and £1,000s worth of giveaways going on until late in the evening.
Steve Horne, CEO at GSF Car Parts, said: “Newcastle is a new city for TechFest to visit, which will allow us to have a hugely positive impact on local businesses. Garages in the area can expect a family-friendly atmosphere with free food, drinks, entertainment and industry insights.
“Our most recent event in Wembley saw us do more than £750,000 worth of business, proof it’s worth visiting for the dozens of on-the-night offers and a host of other business opportunities.”
