Weather

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and signage
Russian is the everyday language and signage at metro stations and on street plates is in Cyrillic. Have the venue address written in Cyrillic (Gostiny Dvor, Ilyinka 4) for taxi drivers, and carry a translation app offline since connectivity for some foreign services can be limited.
Payments and cash
The currency is the ruble. Many foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard cards are declined in Russia, so withdraw or bring cash and confirm card acceptance with your hotel and any restaurant you book.
Business etiquette
Meetings tend to start with a handshake and formal address using first name and patronymic. Bring business cards with your title, arrive on time, and expect relationship-building before commercial detail.
Metro etiquette
On Moscow escalators, stand on the right and keep the left side clear for people walking. Let passengers exit the train before boarding and keep bags off the seats during peak hours.
Dressing for November
Muscovites dress practically for the cold: insulated coats, hats, gloves and waterproof boots. Venue interiors and metro carriages are heated, so layered clothing is more comfortable than one heavy coat with no flexibility.
Documents and registration
Carry your passport, visa and migration card with you, since checks can happen anywhere in the city. Hotels handle visa registration for guests, but short-term apartment stays may require you to arrange it yourself.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Google Flights returned limited results for New York JFK to Moscow SVO on 11 November 2026, with long connecting routings (for example via Casablanca or Abu Dhabi) and total journey times in the 20-44 hour range; book early and allow buffer days before opening.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Moscow; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Gostiny Dvor Exhibition Complex: Moscow: Senator Hotel; Moscow: Four Seasons Hotel Moscow; Moscow: Key Element.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Moscow; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Moscow's metro is the practical way to reach Gostiny Dvor: use Kitay-gorod (lines 6 and 7) or Ploshchad Revolyutsii (line 3), both a short walk from the Ilyinka street entrance. Pay with a Troika stored-value card, which is cheaper per journey than a single ticket and works across metro, bus and tram; top up at station kiosks. From the airports, take Aeroexpress rail into the city (SVO to Belorussky, DME to Paveletsky, VKO to Kievsky) and transfer to the metro rather than relying on road transport in peak traffic. Approximate fares: metro 65-75 RUB per journey, Aeroexpress 500-650 RUB one way; confirm live fares on arrival.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Gostiny Dvor Exhibition Complex; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
