Set in Dublin, Ireland from 16 October 2026 to 18 October 2026, Ideal Home Show 2026, the Ideal Home Show Ireland, has established itself as a key date for the sector. Think of it as the sector's trading floor — a concentrated space where supply meets demand and orders get written. Running twice a year, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. Some 26000 attendees are projected to attend across the run of the event. Royal Dublin Society sets the scene, offering modern halls and comfortable meeting spaces.

Set against the backdrop of Dublin, Ideal Home Show 2026 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Travel logistics are kind to visitors: Dublin is easy to reach by air and easy to get around once you arrive. Lodging is easy to sort in Dublin, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour.

If it touches home automation or anything across Home Automation, Home Interior, Home Appliances, Home Technology and Home & Interior, chances are it is on a stand here somewhere. The whole thing is set up for doing business: meeting rooms, matchmaking and aisles full of ready suppliers. The show floor features 230+ exhibitors, presenting their newest products, services and solutions. Behind the scenes, PTSB Ideal Home Show manage the moving parts so attendees never have to think about them.

It is as much about the deals made on the floor as the products on display. Put simply, Ideal Home Show 2026 is where importers, exporters and trade buyers go to do a season's business in a matter of days.

Rooms in Dublin get scarce as the dates approach, so securing a hotel near the venue sooner rather than later is the safer bet.
