APEX and IRE exhibitions return to Maastricht in 2026

June 19, 2025

From 2 to 4 June 2026, the APEX and International Rental Exhibition (IRE) will once again take place at MECC Maastricht. These leading trade shows for aerial platforms, rental equipment, and technology will bring together around 250 exhibitors and focus on the latest innovations, including battery technology, digitalisation, AI, and telematics.

New for 2026 is a ‘Product Showcase Stage’, where exhibitors will deliver live demonstrations and informative sessions to visitors. In addition, the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) will host a dedicated safety zone, highlighting best practices for safe work at height. The events are also supported by the European Rental Association (ERA), which will hold its annual convention at the same venue and celebrate its 20th anniversary with the European Rental Awards Dinner on 3 June.

Visitors can access both exhibitions with a single registration. Free shuttle buses will operate between MECC Maastricht and Brussels Zaventem and Düsseldorf airports.
