Autopromotec 2027, the 31st International Biennial Exhibition of Automotive Equipment and Aftermarket Products, brings the industry to Bologna, Italy from 26 May 2027 to 29 May 2027. Trade professionals treat it as essential groundwork: a single trip that replaces months of scattered supplier visits. On a biennial cycle, it gives the industry a regular moment to regroup and look ahead. Expect to join around 97348 attendees over the course of the event. Credit for the smooth running goes to Promotec, who shape the programme end to end. BolognaFiere hosts, pairing practical facilities with a location that keeps attendees close to the action.

When the host city is Bologna, half the appeal is already in place — a well-connected, welcoming base with plenty to offer once the day is done. Reaching Bologna is straightforward, with strong international connections and local transport that make getting to the venue easy. Hotels close to the venue fill up around event dates, so booking early is wise — Bologna is a popular destination year-round. There is life after the last session here: Bologna's food scene, culture and landmarks make for a fuller trip. As one of Italy's key destinations, Bologna regularly hosts events that draw an international crowd.

From everyday essentials to specialist lines, Automotive Equipment, Automotive Parts, Automotive Aftermarket, Automotive Electronics, Automotive Technology and Automotive run right across the exhibition. Face time is the real currency here, and the layout is designed to maximise it — fewer emails, more handshakes. Some 1692+ exhibitors set out their latest, turning the floor into a live snapshot of the sector. The 165,000 m² footprint means comfortable aisles, proper meeting space and stands that have room to make an impression.

Visitors leave with new contacts, supplier leads and a clearer view of where the market is heading. Autopromotec 2027 offers a focused and worthwhile platform for manufacturers, retailers and industry buyers looking to do business and stay close to the sector.

Give yourself a realistic plan for each day — the schedule is full, and trying to see everything is a fast route to seeing very little.
