The Roscongress Foundation is a socially oriented non-financial development institution and a major organizer of nationwide and international conventions; exhibitions; and business, public, youth, sporting, and cultural events. It was established in pursuance of a decision by the President of the Russian Federation.

The Foundation was established in 2007 with the aim of facilitating the development of Russia’s economic potential, promoting its national interests, and strengthening the country’s image. One of the roles of the Foundation is to comprehensively evaluate, analyse, and cover issues on the Russian and global economic agendas. It also offers administrative services, provides promotional support for business projects and attracting investment, helps foster social entrepreneurship and charitable initiatives.

Each year, the Foundation’s events draw participants from 209 countries and territories, with more than 15,000 media representatives working on-site at Roscongress’ various venues. The Foundation benefits from analytical and professional expertise provided by 5,000 people working in Russia and abroad.

The Foundation works alongside various UN departments and other international organizations, and is building multi-format cooperation with 212 economic partners, including industrialists’ and entrepreneurs’ unions, financial, trade, and business associations from 86 countries worldwide, and 293 Russian public organizations, federal and regional executive and legislative bodies of the Russian Federation.

The Roscongress Foundation has Telegram channels in Russian t.me/Roscongress, English – t.me/RoscongressDirect, Spanish – t.me/RoscongressEsp and Arabic t.me/RosCongressArabic. Official website and Information and Analytical System of the Roscongress Foundation:roscongress.org.

Event Infrastructure – An Investment in Quality

Congress Centre, Conference Hall B1

The ability of countries to transform the way they are represented in international markets is one of the key factors in the success of their political and economic strategy. There are examples of the events industry helping to change the infrastructure and strategy of individual cities and entire economies. Therefore, hosting major international events in a country is not only a matter of prestige but also a matter of economic effectiveness. Qualitative changes resulting from the hosting of events affect several areas, such as the quality of the event and recreational infrastructure, the quality of services, the education level of employees and professional training, leading to an improved business environment and investment policy in the region. How can the level of development of a country or a region after hosting a major event be measured, and how can the effect be best assessed? What steps are necessary to ensure high-quality preparation for events? Is investment in the professional development of specialists necessary? What role does the standard of services in a region play in hosting an event? What risks for the region’s image should be mitigated when planning for an event?
