Tipping
Around 10% is customary in restaurants and cafés when service is not already added; round up the fare for taxis and leave a small amount for hotel housekeeping. Card payments are widely accepted but cash in PLN is still useful at smaller venues and at the exhibition catering points.
Business etiquette
Polish business culture is relatively formal: use titles and surnames (Pan/Pani) until invited otherwise, shake hands on greeting and departure, and be punctual for meetings. Business cards are still exchanged, and English is widely used in hospitality and trade contexts.
Currency, language and time
The currency is the Polish złoty (PLN) — Poland is not in the eurozone, so budget in PLN for taxis, parking and catering. Polish is the official language; English is common at the venue and in hotels. Poland is on Central European Time (UTC+1 in March, winter time).

Check Warsaw March weather and pack — March in Warszawa is still cool; pack layers, a warm coat and comfortable walking shoes for hall-to-hall movement.
