    Krasnogorsk in November is cold and mostly overcast. Daytime highs reach about 2C (36F) and overnight lows fall near -3C (27F), with roughly 52 mm of rain spread over about 18 wet days and only about 9 hours of daylight.

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Moscow and the surrounding region have solid 4G LTE coverage from the four main operators, MTS, MegaFon, Beeline and Tele2. Since January 2025 local SIM cards have not been available to non-Russian citizens without a Gosuslugi account, and airport Wi-Fi requires a Russian phone number for SMS verification, so arrange an eSIM or roaming plan before arrival.

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

    Business Etiquette

    Handshakes are standard on arrival and departure. Exchange business cards, use first name plus patronymic in Russian-language dealings, arrive on time and follow up in writing; Russian partners expect detailed technical documentation and formal seals on contracts.

    Currency and Payments

    Russian rubles are the only currency accepted at the venue and in most shops. Cards issued outside Russia generally do not work, so carry ruble cash for taxis, cafés and incidentals, and use app-based payment where a Russian account is available.

    Tipping and Dress

    Restaurants typically add around 10 percent service; leave a similar amount in cafés and small notes for cloakroom and hotel staff. Business dress is formal in November: dark suits, closed shoes and a warm overcoat for the walk between pavilions and transport.

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 — Wednesday 11 November 2026

    The middle day of a three-day Crocus Expo run avoids the opening-morning registration queue and the early pack-down of the final afternoon, and it typically carries the fullest technical programme alongside every exhibitor already present. Buyers with procurement authority use the middle day for second-round stand meetings and price negotiation after their first-day floor scan.

    1

    Check passport validity and Russia visa options — Most nationalities need a visa; start the unified e-visa or business visa process at evisa.kdmid.ru and confirm whether an invitation from the organiser is required.

    2

    Request an invitation letter for the business visa — If applying for a standard business visa, ask the organiser or a Russian partner for an invitation showing seal, legal address, registration number and dates of stay.

    3

    Book flights to Moscow for the 10-12 November 2026 show — Target arrival the day before the show opens on 10 November and departure after the 12 November close.

    4

    Reserve a hotel in the Crocus City or northwest Moscow districts — Properties in the Krasnogorsk venue search area include Hotel Crocus Star, Mitino Hotel and Hampton by Hilton Moscow Strogino; book early as trade-fair weeks sell out.

    5

    Register as a visitor and secure a badge — Visitor registration is free at reg.lift-expo.com; a promo code from an exhibitor, partner or organiser channel enables express badge collection.

    6

    Arrange connectivity and payments — Local SIM cards are not sold to non-Russian citizens without a Gosuslugi account, so buy an eSIM or activate roaming, and carry a card that works in Russia.

    7

    Plan airport-to-venue transport — Use the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya metro line to Myakinino station for a direct exit to Pavilion 3, or pre-book a transfer to Crocus Expo.

    8

    Download the programme and hall plan — Check which halls in Pavilion 3 host Lift Expo and start planning a stand-visit route before you travel.

    9

    Pre-schedule meetings with exhibitors — Contact lift, escalator and component suppliers from the exhibitor list to lock in meeting times before on-site build-up finishes.

    10

    Pack for a cold November show week — Expect highs near 2C and overnight lows near -3C with about 52 mm of rain over the month; pack thermal layers, a warm coat, hat, gloves and waterproof shoes.

    11

    Prepare documents and materials — Print the visa, hotel confirmation and badge details, and carry business cards, meeting briefs and a charged power bank for the halls.

    12

    Arrive, check in and collect your badge — Land in Moscow, transfer to your hotel, then collect your badge at Crocus Expo ahead of the opening and allow time for security screening.
