Ireland’s leading coach and bus industry gathering will return to the RDS Simmonscourt in November 2026, with expanded exhibition space, live vehicle showcases and opportunities for networking across the sector.
Preparations are well under way for the much-anticipated CTTC–Campion Insurance Coach & Bus Show 2026, which will return to the RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin, Ireland on 27th and 28th November 2026. The biennial event was officially launched at the CTTC’s recent Annual General Meeting held at the Johnstown Estate in Wexford, marking the start of planning for Ireland’s premier coach and bus industry gathering.
The all-encompassing event will once again bring together manufacturers, suppliers, operators and industry stakeholders from across Ireland and beyond to showcase the latest developments in vehicle design, technology and passenger experience. The show will feature a vibrant display of innovations in the passenger transport sector, including vehicle showcases, insights into sustainability and digital transformation, and opportunities for operators to engage directly with industry leaders.
Previously, the biennial event has welcomed over 2,000 attendees and more than 500 coach operators, highlighting the strength and scale of Ireland’s private coach and bus industry. With expanded exhibition space planned for 2026, the upcoming show is expected to be the largest yet, allowing more vendors to participate and offering attendees an even broader showcase of vehicles, technologies and services. Previous vendors, include Volvo, Scania, Mercedes and Permanent TSB (PTSB).
The highly anticipated Coach & Bus Show Gala Dinner will once again take place on the opening evening at the Clayton Hotel, Dublin, on 27th November 2026, providing operators, partners and industry colleagues with the opportunity to connect and celebrate excellence within the sector.
Speaking at the launch of the show, CTTC Chairperson David Conway said: “Launching the 2026 Coach & Bus Show at our AGM allowed us to bring the industry together and set the tone for what promises to be another landmark event. The Show continues to provide an important platform for innovation and networking, while highlighting the latest technology shaping the future of coach and bus travel.”
