Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Edinburgh Airport
to venue
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket
Closest listed property to the venue doors and the strongest option for a short walk to badge collection. Compact rooms are typical of the brand.
Breakfast (paid), free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking, bar, accessible, smoke-free property
voco Edinburgh - Haymarket by IHG
Full-service alternative about two minutes on foot from the venue, with an on-site restaurant for evening meetings and a fitness centre for longer stays.
Breakfast, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, fitness center, bar, restaurant, room service, full-service laundry
hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket hotel
Budget-friendly compact rooms a 3-4 minute walk from the venue, useful if you are sending a larger stand team or booking multiple nights.
Breakfast (paid), free Wi-Fi, parking (paid), air conditioning, bar, restaurant
Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket
Mid-range full-service property with paid on-site parking, which is unusual this close to the venue and helpful if you are driving in.
Breakfast (paid), free Wi-Fi, parking (paid), air conditioning, bar, restaurant, room service, accessible
Garner Hotel Edinburgh - Haymarket
Slightly further out but still a 6-7 minute walk. Hotel listings have flagged this property as offering frequent promotional rates, so it is worth price-checking against the closer Haymarket options.
Breakfast (paid), free Wi-Fi, parking (paid), air conditioning, pet-friendly, bar, restaurant
Premier Inn Edinburgh Central (Lauriston Place) hotel
Reliable mid-market chain property about 7-8 minutes on foot, just south of the venue near the Meadows edge. Useful overflow option when Haymarket hotels sell out.
Breakfast (paid), free Wi-Fi, parking (paid), air conditioning, bar, restaurant, kid-friendly
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi / rideshare
Fastest door-to-door option for badge collection day or if you are carrying stand materials. Mapping data shows roughly 17 minutes via Glasgow Road and the A8 (about 6.5 miles) and about 21 minutes via the A90 (about 8 miles) in usual traffic; allow more at weekday peaks. Black cabs and app-based rideshare both serve the airport rank.
tram
Captured mapping data shows an airport tram journey of about 36 minutes. Haymarket is the practical stop for the EIC, a short walk from the venue and from the surrounding Haymarket hotels. Trams run frequently through the day but less often late at night, so check the last service if you land on an evening flight.
bus
The airport express coach runs into the city centre, where local buses and the tram cover the remaining distance to Haymarket. Lothian city buses use contactless tap-cap on board, so a UK bank card or phone wallet works without buying a paper ticket.
rail
Haymarket station is the closest rail arrival point to the venue and is within walking distance. Edinburgh Waverley, in the city centre, is a longer walk or a short taxi or bus ride. Rail is the practical option for delegates arriving from Glasgow, and a captured flight-search example showed a London Euston to Edinburgh Waverley direct train at about GBP 75 one way with a journey time of roughly 7 h 45 min.
Weather
November in Edinburgh is late autumn: expect daytime highs typically around 8-10 C and overnight lows around 2-4 C, frequent showers, and strong winds that make an umbrella unreliable. Daylight is short, with sunset before about 16:30 mid-month, so plan evening travel to and from the venue in the dark. These are climatological bands for the city rather than a forecast - check the Met Office outlook for the show week, and treat snow as unlikely but possible in a cold snap. Rain-ready footwear matters if you are walking between Haymarket hotels and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
UK mobile coverage in central Edinburgh is generally strong, with EE, O2, Vodafone and Three all operating 4G and 5G services. Visitors can buy a prepaid SIM or an eSIM on arrival at Edinburgh Airport or in the city centre; EU visitors should check their home operator's post-Brexit roaming terms, as free roaming is no longer guaranteed. Venue Wi-Fi availability, guest network names and any bandwidth limits for demos vary by hall, so confirm with the organiser or the venue before the show rather than assuming exhibition-hall coverage. UK mains power is 230 V with Type G three-pin plugs, so most international visitors need an adapter, and a power bank is worth packing for a full day in the exhibition hall.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Smart casual is the standard at UK technology events: a jacket or decent knitwear over a shirt works for most stand conversations and conference sessions. Reserve formal suits for scheduled client meetings, and remember the walk between Haymarket hotels and the venue is outdoors in November weather.
Punctuality and small talk
Session start times are taken seriously, so arrive for keynotes a few minutes early. Opening small talk before business is normal - weather, travel and football are safe openers - and Scots tend to be direct and informal once introductions are done.
Tipping and payments
The UK is effectively cashless for most transactions; contactless cards and phone wallets work in shops, pubs, taxis and on public transport. Restaurant tipping is discretionary and commonly around 10 percent, and many Edinburgh venues add a service charge to larger group bills.
Time zone and daylight
Edinburgh is on Greenwich Mean Time in November, so there is no clock change to manage mid-trip. Daylight is limited, with sunset before about 16:30 mid-month, which is worth factoring into evening travel plans and any walk back to a hotel away from Haymarket.
Queueing and personal space
Queueing is a firm social norm, whether at a coffee counter, a bus stop or venue cloakroom. Give people space in queues and on the tram, and say thanks to drivers and staff - small courtesies are noticed.
Networking and drinking culture
A lot of informal event networking in Edinburgh happens in Haymarket and West End bars and restaurants after sessions. If you do not drink, ordering a soft drink is completely normal, and there is no expectation to stay out late to build relationships.
Sunday and evening hours
Central Edinburgh shops and restaurants keep normal hours, but some smaller venues and attractions run reduced Sunday hours in the off-season. If you plan to extend your stay around the show, book restaurants and any tours in advance.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: EDI
Book into Edinburgh Airport (EDI) for the shortest transfer to the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, with the venue roughly 6.5-8 miles away by road. Captured flight searches for a comparable mid-November travel date showed nonstop service from Dubai (DXB) with Emirates at about 8 h 15 min and a one-stop Pegasus option via SAW at about 11 h 30 min; from New York (JFK) nonstop with Delta, Air France, KLM or Virgin Atlantic at about 6 h 40 min, plus one-stop routings via London Heathrow at about 9 h 50 min. Longer-haul itineraries typically connect through Heathrow, Amsterdam or Dubai - Tokyo Narita via Amsterdam ran about 18 h 30 min and Sydney via Dubai about 23 h 55 min in the same searches. From London, short-haul flights operate from Heathrow and Luton, and rail from London Euston to Edinburgh Waverley was also surfaced at about GBP 75 one way with a journey time of roughly 7 h 45 min. All of these are captured examples rather than quotes, so compare live fares and confirm baggage and seat conditions before booking.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Edinburgh Airport (EDI). Allow road or rail time to Edinburgh International Conference Centre; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Edinburgh International Conference Centre: Haymarket: Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket; Haymarket: voco Edinburgh - Haymarket by IHG; Haymarket: hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket hotel.
Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing works in Edinburgh alongside the city's traditional black cab firms, which also operate phone and app booking. From Edinburgh Airport (EDI) to the Haymarket venue district, expect an approximate fare of GBP 30-70 depending on traffic, time of day and vehicle class, broadly in line with metered taxi pricing; confirm the quoted price in the app before you accept. At peak conference times, demand around the Edinburgh International Conference Centre and Haymarket rises sharply at the close of sessions, so request a car a few minutes before you need it or walk to a nearby pickup point away from the main entrance. Hotel-to-venue trips of 70-610 m are not worth a car - walking is faster.
Public transit: Edinburgh's tram line connects Edinburgh Airport (EDI) with Haymarket and the city centre, with a journey time of about 36 minutes from the airport and approximate adult airport fares of GBP 7-8 one way. Haymarket is the practical stop for the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, a short walk from the venue and from the Haymarket hotel cluster. Lothian buses cover the same corridor and the wider city, with contactless tap-cap payment on board and a flat single fare of roughly GBP 2, plus day tickets for multiple journeys; the airport express service runs for about GBP 5-6 single. Frequencies are good through the day but thinner in the late evening, so check the last tram and bus times if you are landing after dark in November. All fares and timetables are approximate - confirm with the operators before travel.
Parking: The Edinburgh International Conference Centre sits in Edinburgh's city-centre parking control zone, where on-street parking is restricted, time-limited and heavily enforced on weekdays. Nearby multi-storey and surface car parks in the Haymarket and Exchange area are limited in number and fill quickly during conference week, so driving to the show is the least convenient option for most visitors. If you must drive, check the venue's current guidance on recommended car parks and daily rates before travelling, and allow extra time for walking from a car park to the hall. Hotels such as Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket and hub by Premier Inn offer paid parking on site, which is the simplest arrangement if you are arriving by car - confirm availability when you book, as spaces are limited.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November (autumn in Edinburgh, and the month of the next scheduled edition in 2026)
Temperature: Typical November range for Edinburgh: daytime highs around 8-10 C and overnight lows around 2-4 C, with wind chill making it feel colder near the venue entrance and along Haymarket's exposed streets. These are climatological bands, not a forecast - check the Met Office outlook for the show week and expect day-to-day swings of several degrees.
Seasonality: November is one of Edinburgh's wetter, windier months, with frequent showers and a realistic chance of rain on any show day. Daylight is short: sunrise after 07:30 and sunset before about 16:30 mid-month, so travel to early sessions and back to your hotel after evening networking happens in the dark. Snow is uncommon in the city in November but a cold snap can produce sleet, and pavements around Haymarket can be wet and slick.
Packing: Pack for damp cold rather than deep winter: a waterproof and windproof outer jacket, warm mid-layers, and shoes with grip that you can wear for a full day at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre and the walk back to a Haymarket hotel. An umbrella is useful but often inverted in Edinburgh wind, so prioritise a hooded jacket. Add a compact power bank, a UK Type G plug adapter and a small day bag for the exhibition hall; bring one smart-casual outfit for any evening client dinner, and keep a spare pair of socks in your bag if you plan to walk between venues in the rain.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

Confirm your registration status and badge details on digit-expo.com, and note whether badge collection is at the venue or in advance.
Book flights into Edinburgh Airport (EDI) and a Haymarket hotel; midweek November rates in the 70-610 m walking cluster rise as the date approaches.
Check your passport validity and your UK entry position (visa or ETA) on gov.uk, and request an organiser invitation letter if your application needs one.
Review the programme at digit-expo.com/schedule and shortlist the keynotes and workshop sessions that match your 2026-2027 priorities.
Plan the airport transfer - taxi at roughly 20-30 minutes, tram at about 36 minutes to Haymarket, or the Airlink bus into the city centre.
Download the venue map and check walking routes from your hotel to the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Sort out a UK eSIM or roaming plan and check that your devices work on UK networks.
Check the Met Office forecast for Edinburgh and pack a waterproof jacket, layers and comfortable shoes for the Haymarket walk.
Book any client dinners in central Edinburgh early; Haymarket and West End restaurants fill quickly during conference week.
Print or save booking confirmations, hotel address and the venue postcode for taxi drivers.
Charge devices and pack a UK Type G plug adapter, plus a power bank for a full exhibition day.
Check in for your flight, confirm hotel check-in time and plan to arrive with time to collect your badge before the first session.
Show day: Arrive ahead of the opening keynote, keep the exhibition hall for supplier meetings and use scheduled breaks for networking rather than trying to cover every stand.
After the show: Send follow-up messages within 48 hours while your notes are fresh, and file supplier quotes against your evaluation criteria.
