The third annual “Internet and Business” conference has been announced this week. CIB-2008 is by far the largest conference in Russia and attracted over 2000 visitors last year. It is attended by almost all the major internet companies in Russia, including of course the search giants Yandex, Begun, Mail.ru, Rambler and Google.
The conference is free of charge and will take place on the 16th-18th April 2008 at the luxurious BOR hotel just outside Moscow. There were over 120 sessions last year with a banquet held on the first night. The event offers a unique insight into the online scene in Russia and a chance to network with all the main players.
I’ll be attending the conference as usual, with several of my team. Although the talks are usually in Russian, the conference can arrange personal translators. If any you wish to attend then leave a comment and I will be glad to help you.
The main site is again in Russian, but here is a translated version
