State-of-the-art Technologies will Ensure Meaningful Participation in SPIEF Expert Discussions

The Roscongress Foundation has installed additional equipment in the halls hosting events of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum business programme to ensure participation of online speakers. The connection will be based on Vinteo, a Russian video conferencing server. Online speakers will also be able to use simultaneous interpretation and choose Russian or English to participate in the event.

“State-of-the-art technologies will help us expand the participant geography of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2021 business programme. Experts representing the countries with existing restrictions that prevent them from participating in person will be able to join discussions online. They will be able to enjoy meaningful participation in Forum sessions and interact with other participants, both who will join online and who will be present in person,” emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum Organizing Committee.     

Online broadcast of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum business programme events will be available on the official SPIEF website, the website of the Roscongress Foundation, and in the Forum mobile app. The sessions will be broadcast in Russian and English, while the plenary session will be interpreted into six languages. No registration is required to watch the broadcast.

The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will take place on 2–5 June in the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The rules for connecting online speakers to the business programme sessions are available on the official SPIEF website – forumspb.com.
