The agreement was signed by Sergey Voronkov, General Director of ExpoForum International, and Evgeny Minchenko, President of the RAPR Association.

ExpoForum’s interaction with the Association will consolidate the company’s efforts with leading PR market experts in the development of business tourism, event management and marketing, as well as attract the attention of the PR community to media and events at ExpoForum.

“The media and meetings industry are critical for the competitiveness of companies and countries in the 21st century. Today we are witnessing a new type of rivalry – information wars. Presenting your ideas to the world, co-shaping the agenda of the present and the future depends on the quality of communication and how well your idea is described and publicized,” said Sergey Voronkov after the signing.

Evgeny Minchenko expressed confidence that the cooperation between RAPR and ExpoForum will strengthen the competencies of both organizations and create an additional tool to support and promote event participants.

“The association will add additional competencies to ExpoForum in PR, GR and other communication practices that we are engaged in,” emphasized Evgeny Minchenko.

On May 19, 2023, ExpoForum International became a corporate member in the Russian Association of Public Relations (RAPR). The company became the first representative of the MICE industry to join the Association.
