From June 3 to 5, 2008, the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre will be host to the IRE. Located just seven minutes from Schiphol International Airport, Amsterdam RAI is one of the world's leading destinations for exhibitions and congresses.

At IRE 2008 you will meet all the professionals showcasing a wide spectrum of equipment and specialist services synonymous with the rental industry with a particular focus on compact equipment and tools, fleet management software, asset tracking systems and other specialist technologies for rental companies.

The timing is right for an event such as IRE: the European Rental Association recently estimated that the European equipment rental market alone is now worth Euros 21,5 billion, with an estimated 13,900 rental companies employing 165,000 people. That puts it on par with North America, which together, make up the majority share of global rental revenues - valued at US$ 55 billion.
