Private Equity Industry in Russia (CIS) and Eurasia, despite its understated stance and relatively low public visibility, has a profound effect on the economic development of the region and unites in its ranks the best of the region's professionals.
This convention will be assembled and delivered as the discussion based networking platform, where private equity professionals will be able to exchange their views and opinions in a friendly but structured conversation.
There will be no presentations or speeches in the discussion rooms, just extended exchange of opinions, ideas, and networking.
The convention will run as a series of discussion groups, organised around the most interesting topics named by our participants. The co-moderators will only make sure that everyone is involved and all the topics that interest them are covered. Everyone participates in the conversation equally and to their own willingness. A participant may choose and join any of the discussion he/she may find most useful. Networking is the name of the game.
