There will also be culture and media-focused panels.

About the organisers:
Russian Business Week is organised and run by the LSE students from the Russian Business & Culture Society. The non-profit society was established in 2006 with the aim to promote business collaboration, connect Russian-speaking students and foster cross-cultural exchange in London and beyond.
Its flagship yearly conference – Russian Business Week – has become a leading business event at the LSE, attracting influential speakers and hundreds of attendees every year. Past speakers have included Dmitry Medvedev, Sergey Lavrov, Mikhail Zelman, Ksenia Sobchak, Irina Prokhorova and Alfred Koch.
