Auto Trade EXPO confirmed for 2026

Following record attendances at the RDS Dublin this October, and the sell-out of all available space for 2024, the Auto Trade EXPO and CV Workshop EXPO will return in 2026, confirmed for Saturday and Sunday, 10th-11th October of that year.

The 2024 Auto Trade EXPO and CV Workshop EXPO were the largest of the automotive aftermarket shows held across the UK and Ireland this year. As a result, we will expand the available exhibitor space for both shows for 2026.

I know it is 22 months away, but the many thousands of auto and transport trade visitors that attended and hundreds that exhibited in Dublin in October 2024, already want to return to the ever expanding CV Workshop EXPO, held side-by-side with the hugely successful Auto Trade EXPO. We also have had several new exhibitors enquiries already.

If you are interested in exhibiting in 2026, please send me an email (pdeane@autopub.ie), and I will get back to you with information about the EXPOs at the RDS Simmonscourt from 10th-11th October, 2026.

2026 Irish Auto Trade Awards
The newly expanded format for the 2025 Irish Auto Trade Awards, which were presented at the Auto Trade EXPO/CV Workshop EXPO this year, proved to be very successful. We will continue with a refined awards programme in 2025 for 2026 Awards, and again in 2026 at the EXPO for the 2027 Awards. Congratulations to all the 2025 winners and those that made the shortlists.
