NEW YORK, NY - The Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council (MARBC) is pleased to announce that it will be organizing the Russian – American Conference and Exhibition on June 27 in conjunction with the Corporate and Channel Computing Expo (C3 EXPO) being held from June 26– 28, 2007 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, NY. The program will provide opportunities for further business and technology cooperation between U.S. and Russian companies, and includes a seminar, panel discussions, and a special Russian Pavilion.

Since the establishment of the C3 Expo’s predecessor, CeBIT America, in 2003, the Russian Conference, organized by the Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council, has become an important component of the trade fair’s international program. In 2004, CeBIT America was acquired by H.A. Bruno LLC, with programs that originated in CeBIT continuing in C3 Expo. The 2005, 2006 and 2007 C3 Expo were selected by the U.S Department of Commerce as an event for foreign attendees participating in the International Buyers Program.

In 2007, the main part of the Russian Conference will be held on June 27. The program on this day includes panels and presentations covering the most promising and pressing issues of Russian-American business and technology cooperation. The presenters at the conference will be a diverse group, representing organizations ranging from major corporations to small businesses and from research universities to technology associations and foundations..

There will also be a "Russian Science & Technology Opportunities for U.S. Business" seminar which will highlight the various institutes, scientists, and projects in Russia, and includes presentations by U.S. corporations with significant technology transfer collaboration experience in Russia.

Another important event of the Russian Conference is the panel entitled "Doing Business in Eurasia: Resources and Tips". This panel will include U.S. Department of Commerce representatives and speakers from the Embassies and Trade Representations of Eurasian countries. All the panel members will give a brief overview of the science and technology strengths of their respective regions and will discuss potential areas for cooperation.

A delegation from the Russian Federation, representing companies in the information technology, telecommunications and other technology industries, will be present to participate in panel discussions and exhibit the latest advancements in Russian technology for the duration of the C3 EXPO.
