IAPAs 2025 - just a few days away

Anticipation is rising for the 2025 International Awards for Powered Access (IAPA), taking place next week in Dublin, at the city’s Royal Convention Centre.

Apart from Thursday night’s ceremony, which celebrates best practice and innovation in the access industry, delegates will enjoy the annual IPAF Summit, on the same day as the IAPAs, offering a vital focus on safety.

With 13 categories, and following more than 140 entries, the 2025 IAPAs is set to attract around 530 attendees, making it one of the most revered events of the year.

The Summit will see senior representatives gather from across the access community to hear from industry experts on the latest developments specifically on the theme of Safety as a Culture, not a Checklist.

The IPAF Summit 2024.

Organised by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) and Access International, the IAPAs and IPAF Summit are firmly established as a must attend annual event.

Extra activities 

In addition, local company KDM Hire will provide a unique opportunity for registered delegates to tour its rental facilities on Wednesday 12 March, the day before the IAPAs and Summit, followed by the IPAF & IAPA Welcome Reception at Dublin City Hall.

All the events are fully booked and promise to offer an exceptional mix of celebrations, information sharing and networking.

The industry now awaits the announcement of the location for the 2026 IAPAs and IPAF Summit. All will be revealed on Thursday night, at the end of the IAPA ceremony.

Judging team
