Weather
Early May is pre-monsoon in Bengaluru: days are warm and humid, with afternoon temperatures often in the low-to-mid 30s Celsius and milder mornings. Short showers or thunderstorms can build as the southwest monsoon approaches in June. Carry a compact umbrella and a light rain layer for the walk between halls and transport.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Indian carriers Airtel, Jio and Vi offer prepaid and postpaid mobile data. International visitors can use an eSIM or buy a local SIM at BLR airport with passport and photo. 5G is available in Bengaluru on major networks, but speeds vary indoors. Venue Wi-Fi is usually available for basic use; do not rely on it for large uploads or live demos. India uses 230V/50Hz power with type D, C and M plugs, so bring a universal adapter and check equipment voltage.

Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: BLR
Bengaluru's Kempegowda International (BLR) is the practical arrival point for IEW. It has direct flights from major Indian metros and one-stop or direct links from Gulf, Southeast Asian and European hubs. For 5-7 May 2027, book long-haul seats 8-12 weeks ahead and compare into BLR rather than Chennai or Hyderabad, which are long road transfers. May is pre-monsoon, so build a buffer for afternoon delays and keep the airport-to-Whitefield transfer at 60-90 minutes. Confirm terminal, baggage and e-visa documents before departure.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Kempegowda International (BLR): Kempegowda International (BLR) is the main commercial gateway serving Bangalore; allow 45-60 min by road or rail to KTPO Convention Centre; Chennai International (MAA): Chennai International (MAA) is the main commercial gateway serving Bangalore; allow 45-60 min by road or rail to KTPO Convention Centre; Hyderabad Rajiv Gandhi International (HYD): Hyderabad Rajiv Gandhi International (HYD) is the main commercial gateway serving Bangalore; allow 4
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near KTPO Convention Centre: Koramangala: The Hosteller Bangalore, Koramangala; Bangalore city: Hotel Empire International (Noor Empire); Bangalore city: GRAND KALINGA HOTEL.
Ride-hail: Ola, Uber and Rapido are widely used in Bengaluru. At BLR, follow signs to the app-cab pickup zone; drivers may call to confirm the exact gate. Pay by UPI, card or cash, and check the fare estimate before confirming. Surge pricing is common in rain and evening peak, especially on the Whitefield corridor, so build a buffer around show opening and closing times.
Public transit: Namma Metro's Purple Line reaches Whitefield, with Kadugodi Tree Park and Hopefarm Channasandra among the closest stations to the KTPO area; take a short auto from there. BMTC city buses and Vayu Vajra airport coaches serve Whitefield and ITPL, while Indian Railways commuter services can help at peak hours if timings align. Fares are low; keep a few hundred rupees or a UPI app ready. Confirm the final stop and last-mile option before setting out.
Parking: KTPO Convention Centre has on-site parking, typically paid; plan for approximately INR 100-200 per day and confirm the current rate with the venue. Arrive early on show days because the Whitefield approach roads and parking gates get busy. Exhibitors with equipment should arrange loading, vehicle access and unloading slots with the organiser in advance.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: May 2027
Temperature: Approx. 22-35 C (71-95 F), with warm and humid afternoons and milder mornings
Seasonality: Pre-monsoon showers and thunderstorms become more frequent through May; the southwest monsoon usually arrives in June.
