ABOUT THE FAIR
Russian Elevator Week is Russia’s leading trade fair for elevator and lifting technologies. Held biennially at the prestigious VDNH exhibition center in Moscow, the event is organized by JSC VDNH in close cooperation with the National Lift Union, a key industry association in Russia. As a specialized trade fair, it is aimed exclusively at professionals—manufacturers, distributors, service providers, and decision-makers in the fields of elevators, escalators, and building technology.
The exhibition showcases a wide range of innovative solutions, the latest technologies, and advanced products across all key segments of the elevator industry. Central themes include modern systems such as intelligent elevators and escalators, digital control systems, and cutting-edge IoT technologies. Special attention is given to safety and standardization, with industry experts addressing critical topics such as international and Russian standards (e.g., GOST, EN, ISO), fire protection, emergency systems, and efficient maintenance practices.
Another focal point is smart elevators and building automation—especially the integration of AI-driven traffic management systems and networked elevator solutions in intelligent buildings. The event also provides valuable insights and practical approaches to the maintenance and modernization of existing systems, including retrofit concepts designed to extend service life sustainably.
The fair strongly emphasizes energy efficiency and sustainability. Visitors gain insights into how regenerative drive systems and eco-friendly materials can contribute to solutions that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. This broad thematic spectrum is complemented by presentations of specialized components and accessories, including motors, controls, safety systems, sensors, and doors.
A highlight of Russian Elevator Week is the dedicated competition for elevator engineers, which encourages innovation and technical expertise while bringing outstanding achievements into the spotlight. In addition, the event features a comprehensive business program with expert lectures, conferences, hands-on workshops, and high-quality networking opportunities designed to foster professional connections within the industry.
With its unique blend of in-depth industry insights, forward-looking technologies, and dynamic professional exchange, Russian Elevator Week has established itself as an essential meeting point for the Russian and international elevator industry.
The Russian Elevator Week will take place on 3 days from Monday, 07. June to Wednesday, 09. June 2027 in Moscow.
