With more than 140 entries for the 2025 edition, almost a record, The International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) has established itself as one of the world’s most anticipated access industry events.
Taking place in Dublin on 13 March, the IAPAs celebrate excellence and best practice in the access sector and are organised by IPAF and Access International.

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.
