Peter Douglas, CEO & Managing Director of IPAF, invites all IPAF members to join him in Maastricht for APEX, 2-4 June 2026.

Here are some of the highlights Peter shares in his interview:

🌏 APEX is a truly unique and globally important event for IPAF and the powered access community
✔ All powered access manufacturers and suppliers will be in attendance
➡️ For those who work beyond powered access, leading manufacturers and component suppliers for general equipment are right next door at the International Rental Exhibition - IRE
🏆 The ERA Convention is also running alongside APEX, offering top‑tier presentations, learning opportunities and an evening dinner with awards
👷🏼‍♀️ IPAF and ERA are collaborating on Women in Rental and Powered Access initiatives, including a dedicated networking event.

Peter also highlights the importance of APEX’s networking, noting that its three‑year cycle makes attending especially valuable. He adds that Maastricht provides the ideal setting to reconnect with colleagues, partners, friends, and even competitors.
