Private Equity Convention Russia (CIS) & CEE - is the first networking platform designed to facilitate the flow of information, deal origination and exchange of ideas among the major general and limited partners investing and operating in Central and Eastern Europe and the countries of the former USSR.
The event will consist of a series of approximately 10-15 discussions running in streams of three - four at a time over the course of 2 days.
