About 300 people participated that year, including Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, CEO of Sberbank Herman Gref, Director of the Information and Press Department for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova and famous TV-presenter Tina Kandelaki.
The winner in the Forum participants nomination was General Director of Onexim Group Dmitry Razumov, with an impressive result of 17 minutes and 42 seconds.
