Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and business etiquette
Croatian is the official language, and English is widely used in Zagreb hotels, restaurants and business settings. Handshakes and exchanging business cards are standard at first meetings, and punctuality is expected for scheduled appointments at the show.
Currency and payments
Croatia uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted in Zagreb hotels, restaurants and taxis, but carry some cash for small purchases. Tipping is usually rounding up or around 10% for good service.
Time zone and show days
Zagreb runs on Central European Time (UTC+1, moving to UTC+2 with summer time, which is in force in late April). ASDA 2027 runs 27-29 April 2027 on local time, so build buffers into arrival days, meeting slots and evening transfers.
Defence-sector conduct and security
ASDA is a defence and aerospace trade event, so expect trade-visitor screening, photo ID checks and possible photography or filming restrictions on stands showing sensitive hardware. Treat conversations with military, ministry and government contacts as formal, and keep business credentials with you at all times.
Venue district
Arena Zagreb sits in the Novi Zagreb district, on the south side of the Sava. Hotels in this district are closest to the halls, while central Zagreb hotels add a daily bus, light rail or taxi transfer. Plan roughly the same commute each morning to keep meeting slots predictable.
Registration and arrival
Confirm registration status, badge collection hours and hall entry points with the organiser before travelling to Zagreb, and arrive early on 27 April so security screening does not cost you the opening sessions.
