The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) is a unique event in the world of economics and business. SPIEF has been organised since 1997, and since 2006 it has been held under the patronage and with the participation of the President of the Russian Federation.
Over the years, the Forum has become the world’s leading platform for the business community to meet and discuss key economic issues facing Russia, emerging markets and the world as a whole.
Compared to other events organised by the Roscongress Foundation at the Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Centre, SPIEF is the most stable and predictable event in terms of organisational and financial issues. For nine years (2016 – 2024), the event has shown steady growth and has become positively profitable from a loss-making event.
