Representatives of labor dynasties working in the congress and exposition industry talked about their experience

Representatives of labor dynasties working in the congress and exposition industry took part in the talk show "Simple, Family-style". They spoke how to work with relatives in this sphere and find a balance in relations with their families.

Exhibition companies are often inherited from generation to generation, said Daria Bulanova, CEO of Uzorochye company. Her father started working in the industry in 2002.

"Our main activity is the organization of Orthodox expositions. Four years ago I became the head of the company. My sister works in the customer service department. Our brother also works in the company. And the accountant is my sister's husband. My family supports me. I would like our younger generation to continue the business in which we have invested so much," said Daria Bulanova.

Andrei Levitan, CEO of Expo-Volga company, was given an example of working in the industry by his mother. According to him, at that time he was "orphaned" because she spent a lot of time organizing events. After 20 years, he came into the business on his own.

"For 22 years now, I have been organizing about 20-25 expositions every year. It's all thanks to my mom," said Andrei Levitan.

The talk show was held as part of the celebration of Global Exhibitions Day, which is celebrated on June 4. The program included thematic sessions devoted to event tourism, the history of exhibitions in Russia and other topics. In particular, event industry leaders shared their personal stories of success in the profession. Besides, lectures and master classes were organized for Exposition guests.
