TechnoBuild 100+ ranked among the best congresses of 2025 in the event industry

Yesterday, St. Petersburg hosted an award ceremony for the winners of the annual EFEA AWARDS, which are presented annually to representatives of the professional community of the event industry. The winners were determined based on an analysis of mentions in the Russian media: publications about forums, exhibitions, congresses, festivals, event organizers and venues were taken into account.

The International Forum and Exhibition 100+ TecnhnoBuild was named the project of the Year in the "Congresses" nomination among all the events held in the regions of the Russian Federation. At the federal level, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum was awarded this nomination.

"The most pleasant reward is the one you don't claim. We did not write applications, did not promote 100+ in the professional circle of event organizers, and summing up the results, we immediately began preparations for the thirteenth forum in 2026. But thanks to the support of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, our information partners, and a strong business program, the recordings of which remain a source of information for market analysts today, 100+ TechnoBuild was powerfully represented in the information field and came to the attention of the award jury. During the days of the exhibition and the forum, more than 3,000 publications were published in the media and social media, as many more during the preparation of the forum and after its completion. I sincerely thank our information partners and all media representatives for their interest in the congress, and the EFEA AWARDS jury for their recognition," said Vera Belous, head of the TechnoBuild 100+ working group.
