The award ceremony was held on 22 January at the IV Eurasian Event Forum. The nominees, including leading companies operating on the Russian market, were selected by monitoring. The winner was determined by a professional jury, which included representatives of the TASS Russia News Agency, the R&C Exhibition and Research Centre, the National Association of Event Organisers, the Association of Directors of Communications and Corporate Media of Russia and industry media.

The award organisers noted that “In 2014, St Petersburg opened a new Expoforum Convention and Exhibition Centre, which is a landmark event for the meetings industry in Russia. This was the determining factor for the awarding of ExpoForum International for such a significant contribution to the development of the industry”.
