The concept and architectural design of the complex were developed by the consortium of leading architectural bureaus «Gerasimov and Partners», NPS Tchoban voss, «Tchoban and Partners» and Projectservice LLC. Due to joint efforts of designers and builders, it was possible to create not only the multifunctional complex that accumulates the experience of the major European and Asian convention centres, but also a unique architectural facility claiming to be a symbol of St. Petersburg.

The Super E sign in the logo of the convention and exhibition centre repeats architecture of the Complex: three exhibition pavilions and the Convention Centre form four parallel elements united by the passage. EXPOFORUM is built in full compliance with the standards of the World Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI).

EXPOFORUM is one of the best convention and exhibition venues in the world!

«Dear friends! Our EXPOFORUM turns 10 years old! Congratulations to everyone on this date. The new centre on Pulkovo Heights has become the hallmark of business Petersburg since the very first days. The most important international events take place at the EXPOFORUM venue. The Russian President Vladimir Putin holds high-level meetings here. The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and key BRICS events have also found their home here. Today, EXPOFORUM has almost three dozen projects in its portfolio: they occupy leading positions in world and industry ratings and make significant contribution to our country’s development. Among them, there are the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, the Russian International Energy Forum, the International Exhibition and Conference on Civil Shipbuilding, Shipping, Port Activities, Ocean and Shelf Development «NEVA», the Forum-Exhibition «Russian Industrialist». The Professional Skills Championship «Professionals» is held at EXPOFORUM as well.
Each event always means its high-level preparation and organization. The Government of St. Petersburg and EXPOFORUM are good partners. Together, we have been working on strengthening the image of St. Petersburg, involving investors, creating jobs, and developing the city. Our advantage is combining business events and unique projects. Together, we prepare social and socio-cultural programs. Let us continue working in this way in future!
I thank the EXPOFORUM Management and staff for their high professionalism and genuine St. Petersburg hospitality. I wish your Company further success and prosperity. Happy holidays!»

I vividly remember that day — 10 years ago — when there was an open field on this site. The first stone was laid by Alexey Borisovich Miller and the Governor of Saint Petersburg. It resulted in a super-modern exhibition center! Today, EXPOFORUM is an attraction point for guests and residents of our city. A huge number of exhibitions are held here — from demonstrations of household appliances to high technologies. I would like to especially note the high level of management — Sergey Georgievich Voronkov demonstrated the highest professional qualities, managing such a large and complex enterprise. The fact that the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is held here also speaks to the importance of the complex. EXPOFORUM makes a great contribution to the economy and life of St. Petersburg. Happy 10th anniversary!

Our country still lacks venues where there is an honest conversation about the problems and opportunities that exist in today’s economy and energy. I think EXPOFORUM has proven its relevance as such a venue. The combination of an interesting exhibition with a quality performance is always a very good and profitable combination. Special thanks for the fact that many events related to the fuel and energy complex, the most important industry in the Russian Federation, are held here. I believe that in the next 10 years, EXPOFORUM will remain one of the most significant and important venues. I wish you good guests, interesting discussions, and smart speakers. Let everything be fine!
