Ready, set, RACE! 🏁

GFAA is gearing up for an afternoon of celebration, connection, and a little friendly competition! Join us on Thursday, November 19, at Highland Country Club for the 2026 Annual Meeting & Maintenance Grand Prix.

Whether you're ready to race, cheer on your favorite maintenance professional, or connect with fellow industry members, this is one event you won't want to miss!

Celebrate the Year. Connect with Members. Shape the Future.

We'll kick things off with our Annual Meeting and luncheon, bringing GFAA members together to reflect on another successful year, hear important association updates, and vote on the incoming Board of Directors.

It's an opportunity to celebrate what we've accomplished together and look ahead to what's next for GFAA!

The Maintenance Grand Prix: Who Will Take the Checkered Flag?

After lunch, it's time to put the pedal to the metal!

Our talented maintenance professionals will take center stage for the Maintenance Grand Prix, putting their creativity, craftsmanship, and competitive spirit to the test with custom-built race cars.

Who will build the winning car? Who will cross the finish line first? And who will earn bragging rights?

There's only one way to find out!

Calling all maintenance professionals: Think you've got what it takes? Register to compete and show off your skills! Race registration is limited to just 30 participants, and competitors must register by November 5 to receive their base plate and wheels in time to build their cars.

Not racing? No problem! Bring your team, cheer on your coworkers, and enjoy the excitement from the sidelines.

Make a Pit Stop at the Pit Lane Showcase!

Before the races begin, take a lap through our Pit Lane Showcase! Connect with supplier partners, explore products and services, and build valuable industry relationships.
