What Infor-media Russia does

R-Conf (Российские конференции), operating in English as Infor-media Russia, is a privately held Russian B2B business conference and exhibition organizer. The company is headquartered in Moscow at the Sirius Park business center, with a 26-person team and federal coverage spanning 45+ Russian regions. R-Conf was formed in 2022 through the consolidation of four legacy conference brands — Adam Smith Conferences (1992), Exposystems (1999), B2B Conference Group (2000), and Infor-media Russia (2003) — under a single operating entity and unified brand, following a multi-decade period of parallel operation.

R-Conf organizes an annual calendar of approximately 10–15 flagship industry-specific conferences and professional awards across five core verticals: pharmaceuticals, customer experience and service, intellectual property, project management, and corporate procurement. Notable recurring events include the 27th Aptechny Summit (2026), the 27th Intellectual Property Forum, the 20th Corporate Procurement Summit, and the 23rd Eurasian Customer Experience Forum. Events are hosted in premium Moscow venues (Radisson Collection, Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya, Swissôtel Krasnye Holmy, Safmar Aurora Lux, Holiday Inn Sokolniki, Radisson Slavianskaya) with hybrid online participation options. The company reports 20,000+ annual participants and 500+ partner companies, with over 2,000 strategic events organized across its history.

R-Conf generates revenue through transaction-fee streams: conference participation fees, sponsorship and exhibition booth sales (packages starting at 12 m² with logo placement, participant contact database access, speaking slots, and VIP team packages), partnership programs, and media partnerships. The business is a pure services model with no proprietary technology platform disclosed. Customer base includes large pharmaceutical players (ГК Фармасинтез, Альфасигма, Apteka.ru, Биокор), consumer/manufacturing firms (Тымлатский рыбокомбинат), technology multinationals (Samsung, SAP), and government institutions (Минпромторг). The company is privately held with no institutional investors or M&A activity disclosed in source materials; revenue, ownership structure, and management team are not publicly disclosed.
