Maxim Oreshkin outlines plans for the upcoming January Expert Meetings in Altai

The global economy, technology and society are set to undergo major changes in the coming years. Making sense of those changes will require open dialogue and cooperation among experts from different countries. That conversation will continue at the January Expert Meetings in Manzherok, Altai. Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia, announced that the meetings would be held in early 2027 during his remarks at the opening of the III International Symposium "Inventing the Future".

"As usual, we will hold our January expert dialogues. This year, they will be held in Manzherok, in the Republic of Altai. There, we will hold a strategic discussion about how the economy, technology and society will change in the near future. This is another important part of the Open Dialogue series. The Dialogue takes many forms. The 'Inventing the Future' Symposium, which is being held here in Moscow today, is part of the global Open Dialogue ecosystem. We want to hear from everyone, and we want experts and specialists from around the world to speak directly to one another as peers. We are pleased to provide a forum for these discussions," said Maxim Oreshkin.

The January Expert Meetings will continue the international discussion on global trends convened by the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth". The first expert meetings were held in January 2026 at the National Centre RUSSIA with leading international specialists. They focused on the future, how to prepare for coming changes, and solutions that can help countries and companies develop and improve people's quality of life.

The III International Symposium "Inventing the Future" is being held on 12–13 November at the National Centre RUSSIA and brings together more than 8,000 participants from 107 countries.
