GORINCHEM – The Auto Prof 2026 trade show has once again taken a step forward at Evenementenhal Gorinchem. Over the course of three days, 9,147 industry professionals visited the show, which focused on innovation, networking, and progress in the automotive aftermarket. Following 7,000 visitors in 2024 and 8,100 in 2025, Auto Prof has confirmed its upward trend this year: more exhibitors, a larger exhibition floor, and another increase in visitor numbers.
Kai Dompeling, Campaign Marketer at Auto Prof, looks back with satisfaction: “We can look back on three successful days. This growth shows that Auto Prof is increasingly establishing itself as a meeting place for the aftermarket: a place where professionals come together to follow developments, exchange knowledge, and forge new partnerships.”
The next edition of Auto Prof will take place on February 2, 3, and 4, 2027, at Evenementenhal Gorinchem. During the recent trade show, 30 exhibitors have already committed to participating in this 20th edition.
