Warsaw Motor Show takes place at Ptak Warsaw Expo in Warsaw from 9 October to 11 October 2026. Poland's largest automotive trade fair showcasing passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

What the fair covers

Vehicles, components and automotive technology make up the exhibition. Poland's largest automotive trade fair showcasing passenger cars and commercial vehicles. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.

Dates, venue and getting there

The fair runs from 9 October to 11 October 2026 at Ptak Warsaw Expo in Warsaw. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Check the venue location against your accommodation before booking, since exhibition grounds are often outside the city centre. Where a rail or metro connection exists it is usually more predictable than road transport during fair weeks.

Planning your visit

Attending in person allows direct comparison of build quality and finish across manufacturers. Technical staff are usually available to discuss homologation, parts supply and adaptation for different markets. For Warsaw Motor Show, that means preparing ahead of the October dates and arriving with a target list of stands.

Language and interpreting support

Exhibitors at major European fairs generally handle English well, particularly at international events. Language support becomes more relevant with smaller regional manufacturers, where technical staff may be more comfortable in the local language than the sales team suggests. An interpreter already working in Warsaw saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.

After the fair

After the fair, verification focuses on standards and parts. Check homologation and certification against your market, confirm spare part availability and lead times, and arrange a production inspection before a first shipment.
