The ninth international conference on the Digital Industry of Industrial Russia, CIPR, is scheduled to take place in Nizhny Novgorod from May 21 to May 24, 2024. Organizers have shifted the opening schedule so that the exhibition becomes freely accessible to all on the final day, creating a unique chance for residents and visitors to engage with the event without the need for admission tickets.
Gleb Nikitin, the Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, welcomed the decision with enthusiasm. He emphasized that Nizhny Novgorod stands as a prominent IT hub in Russia and deserves recognition not only from industry professionals but from the wider community as well. He noted the city has much to showcase and to surprise attendees with, expressing his support for making the CIPR experience widely available on May 24. (CIPR organizers)
To participate on the open day, visitors must register through the official CIPR website and obtain a personal Visitor badge. The badge allows entry to the conference exhibition at the designated time chosen during the registration process. Each badge is issued to an individual and grants access to the exhibition during the confirmed window, ensuring orderly flow and a personalized experience for attendees.
Conference leadership highlighted the ongoing expansion of CIPR’s exhibition footprint. Olga Piven, the event director, explained that the fair consistently grows to accommodate more projects from leading companies and a broad sectoral block spanning core economic areas from manufacturing to telecommunications. In recent years the CIPR team has strengthened collaboration with partner nations in the high technology arena and expects to present a range of international solutions at CIPR 2024, reinforcing the event’s role as a cross-border platform for innovation.
