Auto Trade Expo 2026, the Ireland’s Automotive Aftermarket Exhibition, takes place in Dublin, Ireland from 10 October 2026 to 11 October 2026, drawing professionals and buyers from across the sector. The floor fills with brands, distributors and procurement teams, all there to compare products and strike deals in person. Taking place every year, Auto Trade Expo 2026 has become a fixture on the industry calendar. The event is expected to welcome around 8500 attendees from across the world. Royal Dublin Society provides the backdrop, with the space and facilities to match the programme.

Hosting Auto Trade Expo 2026 in Dublin is part of the draw. Dublin pairs world-class event infrastructure with the kind of energy that makes a business trip worthwhile. Travel logistics are kind to visitors: Dublin is easy to reach by air and easy to get around once you arrive. When it comes to where to stay, Dublin offers everything from convenient venue-side hotels to boutique options in the heart of the city.

If it touches automotive or anything across Automotive, Automotive Industry, Automotive Parts, Automotive Aftermarket and Transport & Automotive, chances are it is on a stand here somewhere. It rewards the prepared: come with a plan and you can line up a season's worth of suppliers in an afternoon. A roster of 1000+ exhibitors means you can size up the whole market without leaving the building.

It is the kind of fair where a single meeting can open a new market. If you count yourself among sourcing managers, brand owners and supply-chain teams, Auto Trade Expo 2026 is one to build your schedule around.
