The conference aims to foster collaboration between industry leaders and policymakers.
CIPR 2026 will continue until May 21, covering critical issues in Russia’s digital sector. The event provides a platform for networking, deal-making, and showcasing new technologies. Attendance figures and outcomes will be tracked throughout the week.
