Stand space now on general release for Auto Trade EXPO 2026

Exhibitor stand space for Auto Trade EXPO 2026, which takes place next year at the RDS Dublin on Saturday & Sunday 10-11th October, has now gone on general release.

Over 110 stands have already been booked since May, making this by far the busiest advance bookings level since the Auto Trade EXPO first launched back in 2013.

The 2026 showcase is set to sell out much earlier this time around due to increased demand – a testament to the great access that the Auto Trade EXPO delivers for exhibitors to existing and many more potential customers every two years.

The Auto Trade EXPO is the only aftermarket EXPO on the island of Ireland. The 2024 event attracted more than 8,500 visitors over the course of the two days and featured 220+ stands and showcased more than 900 brands.

Some big name exhibitor announcements will begin to be made this autumn, ensuring the 2026 renewal of the Auto Trade EXPO will be the biggest and best automotive aftermarket event ever held on the island of island.

Email pdeane@autopub.ie to express your interest in exhibiting at the 2026 Auto Trade EXPO. It takes place alongside the CV Workshop EXPO every two years at Ireland’s largest exhibition centre, the RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin.

The first EXPO took place in 2014 at Citywest and it has grown to be a sell-out at the larger exhibition centre on the last two occasions. The number of professional auto industry and transport attendees has increased on each occasion. That is one of the main reasons why the vast majority of exhibitors return to each EXPO and new companies join in the success story every time.
