About Audio Video Show
Warsaw's Audio Video Show is a major event for high-fidelity sound and home cinema, and its organiser describes it as the second-largest event of its kind in the world. It is run by Audio Video Show sp. z o.o. and takes place each autumn across several venues in the city.
The show's format sets it apart from a conventional exhibition. Much of it takes place in listening rooms, where exhibitors set up complete systems so visitors can hear equipment in a realistic setting. Alongside the rooms are larger exhibition areas, which in recent years have included a dedicated headphone zone and what the organiser describes as Poland's largest vinyl fair.
Exhibitors include manufacturers and distributors of loudspeakers, amplifiers, turntables, digital sources, cables, headphones and home cinema equipment, ranging from small specialist workshops to well-known international brands. Visitors are a mix of enthusiasts, buyers and trade professionals, including retailers, distributors and press. Seminars and presentations run through the weekend.
For brands, the value lies in direct contact with an engaged, knowledgeable audience that comes specifically to listen and compare. Many visitors are actively planning upgrades, and the show also gives distributors a way to meet dealers and test interest in new products in the Polish and wider Central European market.

Audio Video Show 2027: what to expect
Dates for the 2027 Audio Video Show in Warsaw have not yet been announced. The organiser usually confirms the next edition shortly after the autumn show; dates for 2026 were published in early November 2025.
The 2026 edition, the 28th, ran from 23 to 25 October across PGE Narodowy and two hotels, the Radisson Blu Sobieski and the Golden Tulip. Brands considering 2027 should register interest early, as listening rooms in the hotels are limited and the best rooms are allocated well ahead.
