APEX/IRE goes annual

The organisers have announced that APEX and IRE will now be held every year, with the show returning on 22-24 June 2027 at RAI Amsterdam in the Netherlands. According to the organisers, more than 7,000 attendees joined the three-day event in Maastricht, which also delivered commercial results including a EUR 2.5 million contract signed onsite. The organisers say Amsterdam was chosen as one of Europe's best-connected international travel hubs, and that the 2027 edition will bring more educational content, product launches and live demonstrations, expanded networking, VIP and hosted buyer programmes, a welcome party, and a combined APEX and IRE exhibition. Interest registration is open ahead of registration opening.
