The impressions are positive because you can feel the high level of quality in the preparation of reports, you can feel the experience of the speakers, each in their own field, and you can feel that each of them, in any case, those whom I observed and listened to, each of them is passionate about the work that they do, especially in the current modern conditions of Russian economy. I especially noted in the programme those speakers who I would like to listen more, there are quite a lot of them, so the expectations are positive.

I was amazed this time by the highest turnout of, let’s say, participants and the high level of interesting and informative presentations. As usual, it’s difficult to get started in the first session, but we got moving so fast that there was even a little late for the break. This suggests that the agenda and the reports both were very interesting. I’ve already even been called by one of I won’t name the companies; the representative sent his contacts and sent his presentations and we’ll probably consider the possibility of our further interaction.

Here are the representatives of manufacturing companies, equipment companies, engineering such as research and production companies. This is good and thanks to the organisers of this conference that they managed to gather them here and create conditions for dialogue. There are quite a lot of participants here. This is good, that is, the breadth of the dialogue for exchanging opinions is useful. In terms of organisation - communication is comfortable and everything is at the great level. The conference is important in terms of environmental topics, and there are several interesting companies with whom we talked. We have cases that we would like to discuss with them in detail. I found at least one point of commonality, additionally, in part of the columns we also found a partner about whom I had heard a lot but whom I had not personally met. And here we had such an opportunity to meet, we communicated, and I think that we will also continue the dialogue in the future more to the point and more effectively, I hope.
