Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language at the fair
Russian is the main working language at PCV Expo; conference sessions and signage may be Russian-only, while export-focused stands usually have English-speaking staff. Bring business cards printed in both Latin and Cyrillic script and an offline translation app.
Business etiquette
Industrial meetings in Moscow tend to be formal: handshakes, titles and surnames, and detailed technical questions. Exchanging business cards is standard and meetings usually start on time, so arrive a few minutes early.
Payments and currency
The local currency is the Russian ruble. Acceptance of foreign-issued bank cards can be limited, so confirm card use with your bank before travel and carry some cash in rubles for taxis, metro top-ups and small purchases.
Getting to the fairground
Crocus Expo sits next to Myakinino metro station (Line 3) in the Krasnogorsk direction. Expect bag checks and security screening at pavilion entrances, so leave extra time on the opening morning of PCV Expo.
Dress and weather
Late October in Moscow is cold and grey. A warm coat, layers and waterproof footwear will be more useful than formal-only clothing, especially for the walk between the metro station and the pavilions.
Registration
Confirm your registration and badge collection desk with the organiser before travelling to Moscow, and keep the confirmation email or QR code accessible on your phone.
Arrival
Arrive early on the first show day for orientation and security screening, and keep photo ID with you at the venue in case it is requested.
