True to our motto, “Your Industry, Your Show,” Irish Skipper Expo continues to evolve each year commented show organiser, Sharon Boyle.

"Having reviewed all exhibitor and visitor feedback, it was found that the overall majority’s preference is to host the show every two years (2025, 2027 etc), alternating each year with the Scottish Skipper Expo. It was also found that the majority of visitors and industry leaders would prefer the show to be held later in the year"
