    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    Aeroexpress train (SVO to Belorussky Rail Terminal)

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forSheremetyevo Airport to central Moscow rail terminal, then metro to the venue district

    Fastest rail option from SVO and largely immune to road traffic; buy at the station or online and keep the ticket for the metro connection.

    Aeroexpress train (DME to Paveletsky Rail Terminal)

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forDomodedovo Airport to central Moscow rail terminal, then metro to the venue district

    Useful alternative when SVO routings are scarce; the rail leg runs on a fixed schedule, so check the last departure against your arrival time.

    Moscow Metro

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forCentral Moscow hotels to the Loft Hall #2, 3 venue district

    The metro is the reliable option on show mornings when roads are congested or snowy. Route planners on transport.mos.ru give live station pairs and travel times.

    City bus or trolleybus

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forSurface routes connecting central districts with the venue area

    Useful for the final short leg where the metro station is not close to the venue; validate on boarding.

    Taxi or ride-hail (SVO to central Moscow)

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forSheremetyevo International Airport to Loft Hall #2, 3

    Fixed airport taxi ranks and app-based services both operate; the 40-70 minute road trip can stretch in peak hours, so allow buffer before a first meeting.

    Ride-hail within the city centre

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forHotel in the Arbat or city-centre districts to Loft Hall #2, 3

    Mapped car trips from central hotels to the venue were about 15-36 minutes; surge pricing is common at opening and closing times.

    Car parking near the venue

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forCentral Moscow paid parking zones and venue-adjacent garages

    Loft Hall is in the central city where paid street and garage parking is the norm rather than large free fairground lots; check whether the venue reserves spaces for exhibitors.

    Weather

    Mid-February is deep winter in Moscow. Typical show-window conditions are daytime highs around -9 to -4 C and overnight lows near -12 to -7 C, with snow cover, compacted ice on pavements and a wind-chill effect on exposed streets. Snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles can slow road traffic, so allow extra time for airport transfers on 16-17 February 2027. Open-Meteo air-quality data for the city showed US AQI around 122 and PM2.5 about 46.6 micrograms per cubic metre (moderate) on the reference date, so sensitive travellers should check local advisories before departure. Confirm the actual forecast in the final week.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Moscow has wide LTE coverage from MTS, MegaFon, Beeline and T2, and 5G deployment remains limited, so plan for LTE speeds rather than 5G. Foreign visitors generally need to buy a local SIM with a passport, and registration requirements for foreign SIMs have changed repeatedly, so confirm the current rules with the operator or your hotel. International roaming and travel eSIMs work but can be expensive; venue Wi-Fi is normally available for email and messaging, with wired or dedicated connectivity usually ordered in advance for exhibitor stands. Business travellers should carry an alternative messaging channel and offline copies of key contacts.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Arrival timing

    Arrive a day before the 16 February 2027 opening so winter delays and airport transfers do not affect your first meeting slot, and keep a printed copy of the hotel booking for check-in.

    Cash and cards

    The currency is the Russian rouble (RUB). Foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard cards are generally not accepted in Russia, so plan cash withdrawals or an accepted alternative before departure and confirm the position with your bank.

    Language on site

    Russian is the working language of the show floor and the programme. Bring Russian-language product summaries where possible and check in advance whether the specific session or stand you are visiting has English-speaking staff.

    Metro and payment

    Moscow Metro accepts Troika cards and contactless bank cards at the gates for around RUB 60-75 per journey; keep a working card ready rather than buying paper tickets for each ride.

    Winter venue access

    Loft Hall #2, 3 sits in the central city; allow extra time for traffic and wear footwear suited to snow and ice on the walk from transport stops, then change into lighter indoor layers at the venue.

    Business etiquette

    Handshakes, business cards and punctuality are the norm in Russian broadcast and telecom procurement meetings. Titles and company names are taken seriously, so bring material that matches the entity you are meeting.

    Tipping

    Restaurant bills commonly round up by around 10 percent; tipping is not obligatory but is appreciated. Keep small rouble notes for cloakrooms and porters.

    Documents on the street

    Carry your passport, visa and migration card with you; document checks can happen and originals are expected rather than photocopies. Store scans separately in case of loss.

    Registration

    Confirm registration and venue access with the organiser at en.cstb.ru before travelling to Moscow, and check whether your badge is collected on site or issued in advance.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: SVO

    Route choice into Moscow is narrow from many markets: direct flights from the EU, UK and US are limited, so most itineraries connect via Istanbul, Dubai, Doha, Belgrade or Yerevan and run 15-25 hours door to door. Sample February 2027 round-trip fares captured for JFK to SVO started at RUB 116,959 with Qatar Airways and JetBlue via Doha, and RUB 126,128 with Royal Air Maroc via Casablanca for one adult, so recheck closer to the show. Build in at least three hours for self-transfer connections, confirm baggage allowances across carriers, and align the ticket with your visa issue date before paying.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO): Approx. 40-70 minutes by road to central Moscow depending on traffic; Domodedovo International Airport (DME): Approx. 50-80 minutes by road to central Moscow depending on traffic; Vnukovo International Airport (VKO): Approx. 40-70 minutes by road to central Moscow depending on traffic. Allow road or rail time to Loft Hall #2, 3; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Loft Hall #2, 3: Moscow: City Comfort Hotel; Moscow: Gesten Hotel; Moscow: Buddotel' Moscow.

    Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing is the dominant way to book taxis in Moscow and is normally cheaper and more traceable than hailing on the street; Yandex Go is the widest-coverage service, with local alternatives available. Foreign-issued bank cards often fail to link, so set up a payment method before you travel or carry cash, and confirm the car and plate in the app before getting in. From SVO to central Moscow expect roughly RUB 1,800-3,500 depending on traffic and vehicle class, and allow 40-70 minutes.

    Public transit: The Moscow Metro is the practical way to reach the Loft Hall #2, 3 venue district: it is fast, cheap and unaffected by winter road congestion. Fares are roughly RUB 60-75 per single journey when paid with a Troika card or contactless bank card, and the network runs from early morning until around 1 am, with night bus coverage after that. Route planners on transport.mos.ru give live station pairs and travel times; allow an extra 20-30 minutes on the opening morning of 16 February 2027 and keep a printed station name in Russian to show staff.

    Parking: Loft Hall is in the central city, where paid street zones and commercial garages are the norm rather than large free exhibition lots. Expect roughly RUB 200-500 per hour in central paid zones, with daily caps varying by garage, and confirm with the organiser whether Loft Hall reserves parking for exhibitors and how build-up vehicles access the loading area. If you drive, allow extra time for snow clearance and traffic, and keep the parking ticket with your vehicle documents.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: February 2027

    Temperature: Expect deep-winter conditions on 16-17 February 2027: daytime highs typically around -9 to -4 C and overnight lows near -12 to -7 C, with wind chill making it feel colder on exposed streets. Check a forecast in the final week for the exact highs and lows during your stay.

    Seasonality: February is a cold, comparatively dry month in Moscow where precipitation usually falls as snow, and a persistent snow cover with compacted ice on pavements is normal. Heavy snowfall episodes can disrupt road traffic and airport transfers, so build slack into arrival day. Air quality on the reference forecast date was moderate (US AQI around 122, PM2.5 about 46.6 micrograms per cubic metre), so sensitive travellers should review local advisories.

    Packing: Pack insulated layers, a windproof winter coat, gloves, hat, scarf and waterproof boots with grip for snow and ice, plus lighter layers for heated venues and hotels. Bring lip balm and moisturiser for dry cold air, a power bank for long transfer days, and printed copies of key documents in case your phone battery drops in the cold. Recheck the forecast and any air-quality advisory in the week before departure.

    Plan your trip

    Day 3

    D-10: Start the Russian visa process if you need one; business visas normally require an invitation, so contact the organiser early.

    Day 4

    D-10: Download offline maps and a Russian translation app; the show floor and most local transport information are in Russian.

    Day 5

    D-7: Build a target list from the exhibitor directory and pre-book meetings with the CAS, OTT platform, headend or STB vendors you actually buy from.

    Day 6

    D-7: Check your payment cards: foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard are generally not accepted in Russia, so plan cash or an alternative payment route.; D-5: Print your hotel confirmation and keep migration registration details with your passport; hotels usually register foreign guests but confirm at check-in.

    Day 7

    D-3: Pack insulated layers, boots with grip for snow and ice, and lighter indoor layers for heated halls and hotels.

    Day 8

    D-2: Check the Moscow forecast and local air-quality advisory, and reconfirm your airport transfer time.

    Day 9

    D-1: Charge devices, load a metro or ride-hail app, and plan a 30-minute buffer for the opening morning of 16 February 2027.

    Day 10

    D-14: Confirm your visitor registration status at en.cstb.ru and check whether your profile needs organiser approval before a badge is released.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    What is CSTB and which sectors does it cover?
    CSTB is the Moscow exhibition for television, pay-TV, OTT/IPTV, satellite and broadband technology. The 2027 edition runs 16-17 February 2027 at Loft Hall #2, 3 in Moscow and brings together broadcasters, channel operators, telecom and ISP companies, content owners and the technology vendors that supply them. Confirm the current exhibitor list and floor plan on the organiser site at en.cstb.ru.
    When and where exactly is CSTB 2027 held?
    CSTB 2027 takes place on 16 and 17 February 2027 at Loft Hall #2, 3 in Moscow, Russia. Hall allocation, opening hours and build-up times should be confirmed with the organiser before you finalise travel.
    Who exhibits at CSTB?
    Typical exhibitor groups are set-top box and device makers, conditional access and DRM vendors, headend and playout automation suppliers, OTT platform and CDN providers, satellite and fibre transmission companies, content aggregators and systems integrators serving Russian and CIS operators.
    Who should attend CSTB as a visitor?
    Pay-TV and OTT operators, telecom and broadband ISPs, TV channels and content owners, systems integrators, production and post houses, and technology managers scoping platform upgrades. If your role covers video delivery, subscriber technology or broadband service packaging in Russia and the CIS, the show floor is directly relevant.
    How do I register as a visitor?
    Visitor registration is handled through the organiser at en.cstb.ru. Confirm on the site whether your profile qualifies for a trade visitor badge, what identification you must present and when badge collection opens, and keep the confirmation with your travel documents.
    Is the programme in Russian or English?
    The exhibition and conference programme are primarily Russian-language, and most exhibitor staff and visitors work in Russian. International stands usually have English-speaking staff, but it is worth confirming the working language of any session or meeting you plan to attend.
    Which Moscow airport should I fly into for CSTB?
    Sheremetyevo (SVO), Domodedovo (DME) and Vnukovo (VKO) all serve Moscow. SVO and DME have Aeroexpress rail links to the city centre, which is usually the fastest way into town in winter traffic; VKO is on the south-west side with metro access to the centre.
    How do I get from the airport to Loft Hall?
    Take the Aeroexpress from SVO to Belorussky station or from DME to Paveletsky station, then continue by metro and a short taxi or walk to the venue district. A direct taxi from SVO to central Moscow is typically quoted at roughly RUB 1,800-3,500 depending on traffic and vehicle class; reconfirm the fare in the app before booking.
    Do I need a visa to attend CSTB in Russia?
    Most foreign nationals need a Russian visa issued before travel, and the application should be started well ahead of the show. Business visas normally require an invitation from the receiving organisation, so ask the organiser early whether they support invitation letters, and check the current rules with the Russian consulate in your country.
    Can the organiser issue a visa invitation letter?
    Invitation practice varies by nationality and by the organiser's policy for each edition. Request the letter through the contact details published on en.cstb.ru as soon as you register, and allow several weeks for consular processing after the invitation is issued.
    Where should I stay during the show?
    Central Moscow hotels, particularly around the Arbat and the city-centre districts, are the shortest base for Loft Hall: mapped car trips from those districts to the venue were around 15-36 minutes depending on route and traffic. Book early because February is a normal business travel month in Moscow.
    Is parking available at or near the venue?
    Loft Hall sits in the central city where paid street and garage parking is the norm rather than large free fairground lots. Confirm the venue's own parking arrangements and daily tariff with the organiser, and budget roughly RUB 200-500 per hour for central paid zones if you drive.

    Glossary

    1
    OTT (over-the-top)
    Video and audio delivered over the open internet rather than a managed operator network. At CSTB it is the segment where Russian and CIS streaming services, aggregators and platform vendors compare delivery, monetisation and app-level technology.
    2
    IPTV
    Managed, operator-delivered television over an IP network with guaranteed quality of service, typically bundled with broadband. IPTV middleware, multicast delivery and set-top integration are core topics for telco visitors at CSTB.
    3
    DVB-T2
    The second-generation digital terrestrial television standard used for Russia's free-to-air multiplexes. Receiver, antenna and multiplex equipment vendors show DVB-T2 compatible hardware and head-end components at the exhibition.
    4
    Conditional Access System (CAS)
    The encryption and entitlement layer that lets a pay-TV operator control which subscriber can watch which channel. CAS and cardless/software CAS providers are a traditional exhibitor group at CSTB.
    5
    DRM (digital rights management)
    Content protection for OTT and multiscreen services, covering key management, licence delivery and device rules. Relevant to streaming platforms and content owners meeting at the show.
    6
    CDN (content delivery network)
    A distributed edge network that caches video segments close to viewers to cut latency and buffering. CDN and peering partners exhibit alongside OTT platform vendors as Russian streaming volumes grow.
    7
    Set-top box (STB)
    The consumer device that decodes and renders operator services, now often hybrid IP plus DVB with apps and voice control. STB and Android TV device makers use CSTB to meet pay-TV and telecom buyers.
    8
    FAST channels
    Free ad-supported streaming television: linear, scheduled channels delivered over the internet and funded by advertising. A growth format for Russian platforms looking to monetise content libraries without subscription.
    9
    HbbTV
    Hybrid broadcast broadband TV, the standard that blends broadcast channels with internet-delivered interactive services on the same screen. Relevant to broadcasters and device makers building hybrid services.
    10
    SRT and RIST
    Open transport protocols for low-latency, reliable video contribution over unmanaged internet links. Broadcasters and contribution link vendors demonstrate these workflows for remote production and signal backhaul.
    11
    Headend
    The central facility that receives, processes and re-multiplexes channels before distribution to cable, IPTV or satellite networks. Headend hardware and software is one of the most established product families at CSTB.
    12
    Transcoding and packaging
    Converting source video into the bitrates and container formats each device needs, then packaging into HLS or DASH segments. A core cost and quality lever for every OTT and IPTV operator at the show.
    13
    Playout automation
