Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Almaty International Airport
The primary gateway for Atakent International Exhibition Centre. Terminal to venue is a straightforward road trip along the Al-Farabi Avenue corridor; taxis and ride-hailing are the practical option with luggage, and city buses are much slower
approx. 20-25 km
to venue
30-50 min by road depending on traffic
by car
Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (Astana)
Listed for completeness only. NQZ serves Astana, the capital, and is not an alternative gateway to the Almaty venue. Visitors landing in Astana must book a domestic connection to ALA or take the train
approx. 1,200 km from Almaty
to venue
Not a local transfer; requires a domestic flight of about 1.5-2 hours or a long rail journey
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Best Western Plus Atakent Park Hotel
The most practical base for the show: about 30 m from Atakent International Exhibition Centre, with free breakfast and Wi-Fi, air conditioning, fitness centre, bar and restaurant; parking is charged. Approximate exhibition-week band, confirm with the hotel.
Park Dedeman Almaty
A reliable mid-upscale city hotel with breakfast and free Wi-Fi, suited to visitors who want restaurants and evening options in the centre. Budget 15-30 minutes by taxi to the venue; rates tighten during show week.
Interhouse Almaty
Good-value option within walking distance of the halls, with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a restaurant and kitchen facilities in some rooms; an airport shuttle is listed. Check shuttle timings against your arrival.
ATAKENT HOSTEL
Cheapest option next to the exhibition centre, about 40 m away, with free Wi-Fi and free parking, kitchen access, laundry and accessible, smoke-free rooms. Best for individual visitors or small teams on a tight budget; book early because capacity is limited.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi
About 20-25 km and 30-50 minutes. Use Yandex Go or an official airport taxi desk rather than unlicensed drivers in the arrivals hall; the fare rises in peak traffic and for larger vehicles. Confirm the price in the app before departure.
bus
City buses are the cheapest way to reach the Atakent area, but journeys are slow with luggage and require a short walk to the pavilions. Pay by Onay card or contactless where available; confirm the current route and fare locally.
metro
The Almaty metro is inexpensive and clean but does not serve the Atakent exhibition district directly, so a combined metro and taxi trip is needed. Check the current metro fare and operating hours before relying on it for an early show opening.
taxi
A 20-30 minute trip depending on time of day. For a group of three or four, a taxi costs about the same as several bus tickets and is far quicker; agree the fare in the app.
taxi
Useful if you arrive by train from another Kazakh city. The station is on the north side of the centre, so allow extra time at rush hour; confirm platform and exit before booking the ride.
parking
The complex has surface parking around the pavilions, and exhibitors receive loading and access instructions with the exhibitor manual. Do not assume a flat daily tariff, because rates and zones are set by the venue and vary by event.
taxi
Not a local transfer; requires a domestic flight of about 1.5-2 hours or a long rail journey; Listed for completeness only. NQZ serves Astana, the capital, and is not an alternative gateway to the Almaty venue. Visitors landing in Astana must book a domestic connection to ALA or
Weather
October in Almaty is mid-autumn: bright, changeable and noticeably cooler than September. Expect daytime temperatures of roughly 10-18 °C, dropping to around 2-8 °C at night, with a real chance of rain and the first light frost in the foothills toward the end of the month. Conditions at the Atakent exhibition centre are similar to the city, but halls can be cool in the morning and warm under the lights, so layered clothing is the practical choice. Treat this as a climatological band and check a short-range forecast in the week before travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Almaty has good 4G coverage and growing 5G in the centre, with Beeline, Kcell and Tele2 the main mobile operators. Buy a local prepaid SIM at the airport or a city shop if you need data, and bring your passport because SIM registration is required. Exhibition halls usually offer organiser Wi-Fi but speeds can drop at peak hours, so use a mobile hotspot for video calls or live demos. Download offline maps and the Yandex Go app before you arrive, and check whether your home operator's roaming pack covers Kazakhstan.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business language
Russian is the main working language of Kazakhstan's agribusiness sector, with Kazakh used in government and regional administration. English is common among international exhibitors and younger managers, but a Russian-speaking colleague or interpreter materially improves technical discussions with farm directors.
Badges and access
Expect a badge check at the Atakent IEC entrance and again at some pavilion doors. Pre-register, carry your passport or ID, and keep a business card handy. Trade-visitor registration is the norm, and exhibitors cannot always issue guest badges on the spot.
Greetings and cards
A handshake is the standard greeting regardless of gender, and business cards are exchanged at the start of meetings. Present and receive cards with both hands or the right hand, and keep a Russian translation of your title and company on the reverse.
Hospitality
Meetings are relationship-led: tea or coffee is offered before business and refusing outright can feel abrupt. Lunches can extend beyond an hour, and toasting at evening dinners is common. Keep evening plans flexible during the show week.
Dress and timing
Business casual is the norm on the exhibition floor, with a jacket for formal meetings. Arrive on time, but allow for traffic on the Al-Farabi corridor and for security queues at the venue during the first morning of the show.
Payment and cash
Cards are accepted in hotels and larger restaurants, but cash tenge is useful for taxis, small cafes and markets. Tell your bank you are travelling to Kazakhstan, and keep a small float of tenge from an airport or city ATM.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: ALA
Fly into Almaty International Airport (ALA), which is 20-25 km and roughly 30-50 minutes by road from Atakent International Exhibition Centre. Direct flights to Almaty exist from Istanbul, Dubai, Moscow and several regional hubs, but many long-haul origins will require one connection through Istanbul, Dubai, Doha or Delhi. Book 6-10 weeks ahead for October travel and check the connection time, because a missed onward leg into Almaty can cost a full day. There is no need to route via Astana (NQZ): it is about 1,200 km from Almaty and would add a domestic flight or a long train journey. Confirm baggage allowances if you are bringing agricultural samples or demonstration equipment, and re-check live schedules and fares before ticketing.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Almaty International Airport (ALA): 30-50 min by road depending on traffic; Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (Astana) (NQZ): Not a local transfer; requires a domestic flight of about 1.5-2 hours or a long rail journey. Allow road or rail time to Atakent International Exhibition Centre; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Atakent International Exhibition Centre: Atakent exhibition district, Almaty: Best Western Plus Atakent Park Hotel; Almaty city centre: Park Dedeman Almaty; Almaty, about 1.7 km from Atakent International Exhibition Centre: Interhouse Almaty.
Ride-hail: Yandex Go is the dominant ride-hailing app in Almaty and prices are shown before you confirm, which avoids haggling after an exhibition day. inDrive is also used and lets you negotiate a fare, but for business travel the fixed-price app is simpler. Register your card before departure, because foreign cards sometimes fail to link inside the app once you are in Kazakhstan; if that happens, pay cash and confirm the amount in the app. Airport pickups work well from the designated ride-hailing zone rather than the kerbside touting area.
Public transit: Almaty's public transport combines buses, trolleybuses and a north-south metro line. Buses are the only direct public option toward the Atakent district, with single rides in the region of KZT 150-200 and an Onay recharge card or contactless payment depending on the vehicle. The metro is cheap at roughly KZT 100 per journey but does not serve the exhibition centre, so a metro plus taxi combination is the realistic transit itinerary. Traffic on the Al-Farabi corridor is heavy in the morning and evening peaks; allow 45-60 minutes for a cross-city bus trip during show week and confirm current routes before relying on a particular service.
Parking: Atakent International Exhibition Centre has on-site surface parking around the pavilions, with separate areas typically allocated for exhibitors and heavy vehicles during build-up. Visitor parking charges, if applied, are set by the venue and can change by event, so check the current tariff at the gate rather than assuming a daily rate. Arrive before the opening hour on the first day, because the closest bays fill quickly when a large agricultural show is running. Exhibitors should follow the loading and parking instructions in the Iteca exhibitor manual.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October (mid-autumn)
Temperature: Approx. 10-18 °C by day and 2-8 °C at night
Seasonality: Autumn is changeable: sunny spells alternate with rain days, and the first light frost can reach the Almaty foothills late in the month. Rainfall is moderate rather than monsoon-like, but wet pavements and cool mornings are common during show week.
Packing: Pack layers: a light sweater or fleece for the halls, a waterproof jacket or compact umbrella for rain days, and closed comfortable shoes for walking between pavilions and hotels. Add a warm mid-layer and gloves if you plan evening walks or a mountain excursion toward the end of October, and bring a universal adapter plus a power bank for long days on the floor.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at AgroWorld Kazakhstan Almaty usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Confirm the exact 2026 show dates and opening hours on agroworld.kz, then lock your travel dates around them rather than around hotel availability.
Register online as a trade visitor and print or save the confirmation; check whether your registration needs a company email or an invitation code.
Check passport validity (six months is a safe rule) and confirm your visa or visa-free entry position for Kazakhstan for your nationality.
Book the flight into Almaty International Airport (ALA) and allow a connection if your origin has no direct service.
Reserve a hotel near Atakent IEC if you want to walk to the halls; Best Western Plus Atakent Park Hotel and ATAKENT HOSTEL are the closest captured options.
Download the exhibitor list and mark 10-15 stands that match your input, machinery or grain-handling priorities, then request meetings by email.
Arrange airport transfer or install Yandex Go and register a payment card before departure to avoid cash negotiation at ALA.
Order a local eSIM or check roaming rates with your operator; mobile data is the practical way to use maps and ride-hailing in Almaty.
Print a one-page company profile in Russian and English, plus business cards, for distributor and supplier discussions.
Check the October Almaty forecast and pack layers, a waterproof jacket and closed shoes for walking between pavilions.
Change a small amount of tenge or plan an ATM withdrawal at the airport for taxi and incidental cash.
Reconfirm meeting times with exhibitors and download offline maps for the Atakent district.
Pack your badge confirmation, passport, insurance details and any agronomic data or tender documents you want to discuss.
Fly in or reposition to a venue-district hotel, check the route to Atakent IEC, and plan to arrive at opening time on day one for the shortest security queues.
