This publication is focused on the process of organizing events viewed through the lens of project management and will be particularly useful for event industry professionals.

Russia has developed an entire system of significant international conventions and exhibitions attended by influential politicians, business people and opinion leaders from more than 190 countries. Forums are a great opportunity to get acquainted and establish business contacts, a good chance for young executives to prove themselves at their best. In turn, the regions that host the events get a boost to their economic development.
