With more than 140 entries for the 2025 edition, almost a record, the IAPAs has established itself as one of world’s most anticipated access industry events.

The 2024 IAPA awards

Taking place in Dublin on 13 March, the ceremony celebrates excellence and best practice in the access sector and is organised by Access International and IPAF.

There are 13 award categories ranging from new products and innovations to sustainability and safety, alongside equality and diversity in the workplace.

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.
