Exhibitor demand for the 2026 Auto Trade EXPO has reached unprecedented levels, with over 90 per cent of available stand space already booked less than 12 months out from the show.<\/p>\n

Auto Trade EXPO 2026 takes place next year alongside the CV Workshop EXPO at the RDS Dublin on Saturday & Sunday 10-11th October.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 2026 showcase will sell out much earlier this time around due to increased demand \u2013 a testament to the great access that the Auto Trade EXPO and CV Workshop EXPO deliver for exhibitors to existing and many more potential customers every two years.<\/p>\n

The Auto Trade EXPO is the only automotive 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.<\/p>\n
