The Trends VI: Investment and Technology Forum in Moscow

Moscow, 6 October 2026. On 17–19 November 2026, VDNKh hosts The Trends VI, the largest non-state investment and technology forum-exhibition in Russia and the CIS. The sixth edition changes the format. Industry streams give way to a set of specialist conferences, each with its own audience, under one roof.

The organizers expect more than 10,000 unique visitors and up to 20,000 visits across the three days, 2,000 companies and more than 250 speakers. An exhibition of Russian and foreign technology companies runs alongside the conferences.

Registration is open: partner.7tix.io/partner/3GO8A01.

At a glance

What five editions already proved

The Trends has been running for two years. Five editions have drawn more than 30,000 visits, more than 450 speakers from 35 countries, 240 exhibition booths and more than 500 media partners. The sixth edition keeps that scale and changes the way the programme is built: fewer mixed halls, more conferences that a specific audience can actually use.

The conferences

Top AI. A conference on artificial intelligence for business. The programme covers enterprise AI, a digest of AI in the BRICS countries, and a catalogue of vendors.

Moscow Trading Week. A conference for traders, investors and the financial industry. Alfa-Bank is the general sponsor.

GTF: GovTech Future. Digital transformation of governments and technological sovereignty.

PR Summit. An all-Russian platform for communications, run with the Union of PR Specialists of Russia.

The exhibition

Russian and foreign technology companies exhibit next to the conferences. The organizers describe the floor as a place where technology is shown as a working tool, not as a slide.
