IAPA entry deadline extended

The deadline for entries for the International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) 2025 has been extended to Monday 16 December. 

As always, the deadline has been extented to allow companies and individuals more time to enter their cutting edge products and services to the world’s most anticapated access sector awards event. The early bird rate ended on 1 December, therefore all booking will now be subject to the standard cost. 

Taking place in Dublin, 13 March, the 2025 IAPAs celebrate excellence and best practice in the access industry.

There are 13 award categories for this edition, offering the usual range of new products and innovations to sustainability and safety, alongside equality and diversity in the workplace. 

The winners will be chosen by an independent judging panel of five longstanding industry experts, four of which have been announced. 

Organised by Access International and IPAF, the IAPA ceremony takes place on the same day as the IPAF Summit, offering top level presentations and topical industry discussion, along with outstanding networking opportunities across both events. 

Find out more information about the awards, Summit, how to book and enter at the event website.
