Weather
Almaty in October is cool and changeable: average daytime highs near 14 C, overnight lows around 5-8 C, and roughly 9 rain days across the month. Expect bright but short afternoons and noticeably colder evenings. Pack a warm mid-layer, a compact waterproof jacket and closed shoes for the walk between the car park, the halls and Atakent-area hotels; carry a small umbrella in your bag during exhibition days. Values are climatological averages - recheck a live forecast in the week before departure.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mobile coverage in Almaty is good across the city, including the Atakent exhibition district, on the main local networks. International visitors can buy a prepaid local SIM or tourist data package with a passport at operator stores and airport counters, or use an eSIM if the handset supports it; see urocomm.com's Kazakhstan SIM and WiFi guide for the current package landscape. Wi-Fi is normally offered in larger hotels, cafes and business venues, but treat it as best-effort for stand demos and use a personal hotspot for live equipment. Kazakhstan uses 220 V at 50 Hz with type C and type F sockets, so bring a universal adapter and, for sensitive electronics, a voltage-tolerant power strip. Confirm roaming charges with your home operator before travelling.

Flights
Destination: ALA
Book into Almaty International Airport (ALA) for the shortest transfer to Atakent International Exhibition Centre, and check flight schedules early because autumn capacity into Almaty tightens around major business events. Astana Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (NQZ) serves Astana and would require an onward domestic flight, so compare it only if the total journey still works out better. Before paying for tickets, check your entry status on Kazakhstan's official visa-migration portal (vmp.gov.kz) and allow time for an e-visa if your nationality needs one. Plan arrival at least a day before the opening on 21 October 2026 to absorb delays, and keep the final flight home after the 23 October close rather than on the same evening. Fares are not quoted here - compare live prices with airlines and agents.
Visa
Kazakhstan operates a visa-migration portal for visa applications and e-visa services; some nationalities qualify for visa-free travel. Check your nationality against the official Visa-migration portal of the Republic of Kazakhstan (vmp.gov.kz) and gov.kz e-visa pages before booking travel to PowerExpo Almaty.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Official references: vmp.gov.kz (Visa-migration portal), gov.kz e-visa page, and kz.usembassy.gov visa-free travel note. Confirm category (business vs tourist) and stay conditions against your passport before applying.
OfficialTransport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Almaty International Airport (ALA): About 45-60 min by road to Atakent International Exhibition Centre (traffic dependent); Astana Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (NQZ): Onward domestic flight to Almaty required; not a same-city gateway for the venue. Allow road or rail time to Atakent International Exhibition Centre; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Atakent International Exhibition Centre: Atakent district, within 2 km of venue: Atakent district, within 2 km of venue; Atakent district, adjacent to venue: Atakent district, adjacent to venue; Central Almaty or near venue: Central Almaty or near venue.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing is widely used in Almaty and is the simplest door-to-door option for the airport run and early exhibition starts. Yandex Go is the dominant app in Kazakhstan and inDrive also operates locally; both let you set the pickup point in the app and pay by linked card or cash in tenge. Download and set up the app, add a payment method and save the venue address (Atakent International Exhibition Centre, Timiryazev St 42) before you travel, since registration by SMS can be fiddly on a foreign number. Confirm availability and current app coverage locally, and compare the app price with any curbside quote before you get in.
Public transit: Almaty runs an extensive bus and trolleybus network plus a metro line focused on the city centre; the airport transport page also lists a night bus service from the terminal. The Atakent exhibition district is not directly on the metro, so the usual pattern is metro or bus into central Almaty plus a short taxi or bus for the final leg - the same combination recommended in organiser-side logistics notes. Fares and ticket or card rules change over time, so check the Almaty Metro site (almatymetro.com) and local operator information for current maps, timetables and payment methods, and keep small change in tenge for buses. Allow 45-60 min door to door if you are staying in the centre.
Parking: Atakent International Exhibition Centre has on-site parking serving the halls and the adjacent hotel cluster, which is convenient for visitors driving in from Almaty districts or arriving by car from other regions of Kazakhstan. Expect congestion at the main gate in the first hours after opening and again in the late afternoon, so arrive early on day one. Confirm current parking availability, entry gates and any daily charge with the organiser or venue before travelling, and use the designated taxi and ride-hailing drop-off area rather than stopping on Timiryazev St. If you carry heavy equipment, ask about exhibitor loading access separately from visitor parking.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October 2026 (exhibition dates 21-23 October 2026)
Temperature: October daytime highs near 14 C, overnight lows around 5-8 C in Almaty
Seasonality: October in Almaty averages about 9 rain days, with shorter daylight and a marked drop in evening temperatures through the month
Packing: Layer for a cool autumn city: daytime highs near 14 C with notably colder evenings, so bring a warm mid-layer or light coat for the walk between halls and hotels. Add a compact waterproof jacket or umbrella for the roughly 9 rain days typical of October in Almaty, closed comfortable shoes for exhibition floors, and a universal adapter for Kazakhstan's 220 V type C and F sockets. A scarf or light gloves is useful for early-morning transfers.
