TransLogistica Uzbekistan 2026: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Tashkent)

Three days of freight talk on Amir Temur

TransLogistica is a trade fair. The 2026 edition, the 22nd, was set for November 10 to 12 at Uzexpocentre NEC. It was aimed at shippers, forwarders, carriers and buyers rather than the general public.

Uzbekistan is double-landlocked, so getting goods in and out is a daily business problem. That is the fair’s focus: rail and road corridors across Central Asia, links toward China, Russia, Iran and the Caspian, plus warehousing and customs services. Regional and international logistics companies exhibit side by side.

Getting to Uzexpocentre

Uzexpocentre sits on Amir Temur Avenue in Yunusabad district, north of the city centre. The Tashkent TV Tower and the Japanese Garden are close neighbours, which makes both handy landmarks for taxi drivers.

• Metro: the Yunusobod line runs up this corridor; Bodomzor is the usual stop for the exhibition grounds, followed by a short walk.
• Taxi: most visitors use Yandex Go, which is widely used across Tashkent and spares you a fare negotiation.
• From the airport: Tashkent International Airport is south of the centre. The trip is a cross-city drive, and weekday traffic is heavy.

Many out-of-town attendees stay around Amir Temur Square or along Amir Temur Avenue. From there it is a straight run north to the venue.

Tickets, registration and timing

Visitor registration and tickets were handled by the organiser, which also compiled the exhibitor list and the conference programme. No prices or daily hours were given here.

Three days is enough for most trade visitors. Buyers tend to cover the halls on day one and come back for meetings on day two. The last day of a trade fair is often quieter, and stands sometimes start packing up before closing.

November in Tashkent is usually cool and dry by day and cold after dark. Attendees typically bring a proper coat for the walk between the metro, the taxi rank and the halls.

Working the stands, Tashkent style

Business here runs in Uzbek and Russian. English is common on international stands but less so at smaller regional ones. Visitors who come with a colleague or interpreter who speaks Russian usually get further with Central Asian carriers.

• Greetings: handshakes between men are standard. With women, the custom is to wait and see if a hand is offered; a hand on the heart with a slight nod is a polite alternative.
• Business cards: people swap them a lot. Cards printed in English on one side and Russian on the other go down well.
• Tea: stands and meeting rooms often serve tea. Accepting a cup is polite; deals here tend to start with conversation, not with a pitch.
• Money: the currency is the Uzbek som. Local cards run on the Humo and Uzcard networks, so foreign visitors often carry some cash in som for cafés and small purchases.
• Follow-up: Telegram is the default messaging app in Uzbekistan. Many contacts would rather get a message there than an email.

For an evening out, Amir Temur Square and Broadway (Sayilgoh Street) are a short taxi ride south. The Chorsu Bazaar’s domed market hall is further west, and many visitors fit it into a free morning.
