The annual capital markets conference forms part of the Exchanges' initiative to discuss trends in the Russian IPO market and the direction of its future development. It attracts over 250 senior level executives from government, companies, global investment institutions, domestic banks, legal advisory firms, accountancy firms and other investors and advisers.
