Weather
EKO-LAS 2027 runs 2-4 September 2027 in the Poznań region of Greater Poland. September is early autumn here: expect mild daytime conditions and cooler mornings and evenings, plus a realistic chance of showers, so a light rain layer is sensible for time spent in outdoor machinery and demonstration areas.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Poland has wide mobile coverage; EU roaming rules let travellers with EU SIMs use their home data allowances here. Capture sources cover eSIM, local SIM, and Wi-Fi options for Poland, so business visitors can pick up a Polish prepaid data SIM or activate an eSIM at the airport or in Poznań if they need a local number.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business etiquette
Polish forestry and wood-industry business meetings are typically direct and technical. Bring specification sheets, machine brochures, and price lists in English, and confirm whether an interpreter is needed for Polish-language negotiations.
Onsite planning
EKO-LAS combines outdoor machinery displays with stand-based suppliers, so plan flat, comfortable footwear and allow extra time to move between open-air and indoor zones. Confirm registration and access details with MTP (Grupa MTP) before travelling.
Language and payments
The fair is held in Poland and Polish is the local language; the organiser publishes English pages. Poland uses the Polish złoty (PLN), not the euro, so plan currency and card payments accordingly.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Poznań; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.
Visa
If you hold a passport from a Schengen visa-exempt country, you can travel to Poland for a short business visit without a visa. Otherwise, apply for a Schengen Type C short-stay visa at the Polish consulate or visa centre responsible for your place of residence.
Estimated cost: Check the official Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa page for the current Schengen short-stay visa fee; reduced rates can apply to certain applicant categories.
Processing: Standard Schengen short-stay visa processing is commonly around 15 calendar days; some applications take longer. Apply well before the 2 September 2027 fair start.
Bring an invitation letter or proof of fair purpose, Schengen-valid travel medical insurance, accommodation booking, and return travel evidence to the appointment. Use the official Gov.pl visa page as the authoritative source for nationality-specific rules.
OfficialTransport

Temperature: Daytime highs roughly in the 18-22 C range and cooler nights in September; check a live forecast closer to travel.
Seasonality: September is an early-autumn month in Greater Poland with moderate rainfall; showers are possible, and mornings and evenings can feel noticeably cooler than midday.

Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at EKO-LAS 2027 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
T-1
Confirm visa status for Poland (Schengen Type C short-stay visa if your nationality requires one) and, if needed, book a consulate appointment through the official Gov.pl visa channel so the decision arrives well before 2 September 2027.
T-2
Register as a visitor for EKO-LAS 2027 on the organiser site and check whether the day you plan to attend needs advance trade-visitor registration; ticket and visitor information is published at ekolas.mtp.pl.
T-3
Book accommodation early. Poznań hotels are the practical base for EKO-LAS, but they sit a road or rail transfer away from the Mostki near Świebodzin fairground, so map your daily journey from the hotel before you book.
T-4
Buy EKO-LAS tickets via the organiser site or the Grupa MTP app once visitor sales are open, and save the confirmation e-mail or QR code you will show at the gate.
T-5
Check the programme page at ekolas.mtp.pl/schedule for demonstration times, outdoor machinery runs and any forestry or wood-industry sessions you want to attend, and build a rough day plan around them.
T-6
Plan the transfer to the Mostki / Świebodzin fairground area: compare rail from Poznań Główny or Świebodzin, regional bus timetables on e-podroznik.pl, taxi and car, and note that much of EKO-LAS sits in open-air machinery and timber areas.
T-7
If you travel by rail, reserve the Poznań to Świebodzin leg early; regional services towards the Lubusz Voivodeship fill up during fair week.
T-8
Check the September forecast for the Poznań and Świebodzin area: early-autumn days are usually mild with cool mornings and a realistic chance of showers, so pack layers plus a light waterproof for time spent outdoors.
T-9
Re-check ekolas.mtp.pl for last-minute access, gate and programme updates, download or print your badge, and confirm arrival logistics for day one.
T-10
On the first fair day, collect your badge at the entrance, allow buffer time to walk the outdoor machinery demonstration areas, and keep your passport or ID with you for on-site checks.
