The IRE will be held concurrently with the established APEX aerial platform show.

The show will again have the support of the European Rental Association (ERA), which will hold its annual convention during the exhibition.

IRE will benefit by being held concurrently with the successful APEX access event, which is moving from its long-time Maastricht home to Amsterdam for the first time in 2014. Visitors to each show will have access to the adjoining exhibition, meaning that IRE will benefit from the presence of rental company delegates who make up the majority of APEX visitors.

IRE also benefits from the support of the ERA, whose members include many of Europe's largest rental companies.

This will be the third time that the IRE show will be held, each time at the Amsterdam RAI. The first event was held in 2008 and the second took place in 2011.
