(PDF file)

Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council and the Chester County Chamber of Business & Industry are proud to announce the kickoff seminar of the seminar series, The Changing Face of Russia. The series is designed to highlight and summarize recent trends and developments in Russia and analyze their effect on Russian-American business interactions.

This seminar continues the highly successful 1999-2000 series hosted by MARBC, which reviewed the education of regional companies with regard to the changing business environment in Russia after the financial crisis in 1998. This seminar marks the 10th anniversary of the first full-profile business event organized by the Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council. The geographical location is the same and many of the speakers in attendance at the first seminar will attend this time to open the series and to celebrate this 10th anniversary. We once again welcome United States Congressman Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania, Congressional point person on communications with the Russian Government, Chairman of the Russian Duma-U.S. Congress Study Group.

"The Changing Face of Russia" seminars are a great platform for the Mid-Atlantic business community to learn how to adjust to the current conditions of doing business in Russia and meet those who have succeeded in this field. Look for additional events throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland.
