Why Warsaw? Why October?
Choosing Warsaw as the venue leverages its status as Poland's capital and largest transport hub, offering unparalleled accessibility via air (Warsaw Chopin Airport), rail, and road. The modern facilities of PTAK Warsaw Expo provide ample space, excellent infrastructure, and visitor amenities. The October timing is strategic, positioned towards the end of the main boating season, allowing manufacturers to launch new models for the following year and giving buyers ample time for winter planning and commissioning.
