An Automotive Start to the Season
The autumn season will begin on 5-6 September with the 6th edition of TUNING SHOW EXPO, the largest automotive event in the Małopolska region. Visitors to EXPO Kraków will have the opportunity to see carefully selected tuning projects, sports cars, and supercars.
However, TUNING SHOW EXPO is much more than a vehicle exhibition. The programme includes electric motorcycle shows, live car wrapping demonstrations, racing simulators, meetings with popular automotive content creators, and attractions for younger visitors. The event is designed both for motoring enthusiasts and for families looking for an active weekend experience.
A New Event for the Dental Industry
On 26 September, EXPO Kraków will host FORUM 2.0 – Scientific Conference for Dental Hygienists, a new event organized by Targi w Krakowie in cooperation with the Polish Association of Dental Hygienists.
The conference programme focuses on modern prevention, oral health as part of overall wellbeing, patient communication, current professional standards, and the future of the dental hygienist profession. It will also provide an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences, explore new technologies, and gain practical skills applicable to everyday professional practice.
Participants will be able to earn up to 25 educational credits, attend expert lectures, and take part in workshops aimed at developing specific professional competencies.
October Focuses on Industry and New Technologies
October promises to be exceptionally busy. On 7-8 October, EXPO Kraków will host the inaugural DRONE SECURITY EXPO® International Trade Fair for Drones and Anti-Drone Systems. The event will focus on unmanned technologies and airspace protection solutions, ranging from industrial, rescue, and agricultural drones to systems for their detection, monitoring, and neutralization.
Held alongside the event will be the 14th edition of KOMPOZYT-EXPO®, one of the most important gatherings for composite materials, products, and technologies in Central and Eastern Europe. The exhibition will once again be accompanied by the 3D Printing Salon.
A week later, on 14-15 October, EXPO Kraków will welcome additional industrial sectors. The venue will host the 17th International Trade Fair for Powder & Bulk Solids Processing, Handling, Storage, Transport, Logistics and Maintenance SYMAS® & MAINTENANCE, as well as the 9th International Trade Fair for Fastener and Fixing Technology FASTENER POLAND®, the largest event dedicated to fastening and joining technologies in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe.
Kraków’s Celebration of Literature
Autumn would not be complete without one of the most recognizable events organized by Targi w Krakowie. On 22-25 October, the 29th International Book Fair in Kraków® will take place.
The motto of this year's edition, “Attention: Another Human Being”, comes from the work Zabawy poufne by Agnieszka Osiecka. The theme highlights values that are especially important in human relationships: empathy, attentiveness, and openness towards others. As every year, the programme will include author meetings, publishing premieres, competitions, and numerous accompanying events.
A Culinary Finale to the Exhibition Season
From 4-6 November, EXPO Kraków will once again become a meeting place for representatives of the hospitality, gastronomy, and wine industries during the HORECA® and ENOEXPO® International Trade Fairs for Hotels, Gastronomy and Wine.
Manufacturers, distributors, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and chefs will have the opportunity to discover new products, solutions, and trends for the HoReCa sector. Tastings, workshops, culinary shows, expert meetings, and industry competitions will form an important part of the programme.
One of the highlights of this year's edition will be the “Polish Cheese Master – Cheesemonger 2026” final, taking place on 4 November. The competition will be held as a public spectacle open to visitors and media representatives. Finalists will face challenges including the creation of large-scale themed cheese displays and demonstrations of their expertise in pairing different types of cheese with complementary products.
More Than In-House Events
The autumn calendar at EXPO Kraków will also feature numerous events organized by external partners. For the first time, the venue will host Warhammer Open Kraków 2026, the technology-focused Embedded Computing Summit organized by AMD, and the World Balloon Festival, during which the exhibition halls will be filled with balloon-based installations and artistic arrangements.
