Sber's Business Fest unites entrepreneurs and experts in Vladivostok on June 2
A large-scale festival for entrepreneurs—Sber's Business Fest (18+)—will take place in Vladivostok on June 2. This year, a series of such events will be held in cities across Russia, where business owners will share their success stories. Organizers plan to offer interactive zones, discussion panels, business case analyses, and workshops for attendees, according to Sber's press service.
This year's headliner will be Ilya Averbukh, an Olympic medalist, choreographer, producer of ice shows, and major sporting events.
Among the event's speakers:
- Artem Agabekov, founder of Fabrika Okon (Window Factory), the digital agency Adventum, the LublyuToChtoDelayu (I Love What I Do) movement, and the Avtory Zhizni (Authors of Life) community.
- Yekaterina Gorobtsova, co-founder of the Lady Stretch and Lady Jump fitness and stretching studio network.
- Ilgiz Nabiullin, founder of the Chio-Chio express hair salon chain.
The festival will be moderated by Ainur Zinnatullin, a public speaking coach, author of six books—including the bestseller The Art of Charming Strangers (16+)—and an expert in communication strategies.
The program will feature experience-sharing sessions, interactive zones, lectures, case studies, and discussions with mentors on the nuances of running a business.
According to Sergey Radyushkin, Deputy Chairman of Sberbank's Far Eastern Branch, entrepreneurs today are most concerned with maintaining stability in a rapidly changing environment.
"We see that business owners now need more than just promotional tools—they need to understand what they can rely on in current conditions, whether in themselves, their teams, or their partners," Radyushkin noted.
As stated on the event's website, Business Fest will be held on June 2 at the Fetisov Arena sports complex (284 Makkovsky Street). While admission is free, advance registration is required.
Launched in 2023, Sber's Business Fest serves as a platform where entrepreneurs connect with investors and partners, discussing practical challenges—from financial support to marketing strategies—with mentors. Traditionally, speaker lectures will be available exclusively in person at the event venue.
