The essential access industry event

Four events over two days

Thank you for joining us in Istanbul!

A fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge from key access leaders, network face to face with industry friends and celebrate with your peers.

The IPAF Summit conference, along with the International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) is an excellent educational and networking opportunity for the access industry.

Created and organised jointly by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) and Access International, the combined IAPAs and IPAF Summit is firmly established in the access industry as the annual event to attend.
