The CIPR-2026 conference will be held May 18-21 in Nizhny Novgorod.
The 11th CIPR Conference will be held from May 18 to 21, 2026, in Nizhny Novgorod, at the Nizhny Novgorod Fair. The event will traditionally bring together representatives of government, business, academia, and the startup community. The key theme of CIPR-2026 is digital industry as the foundation of Russia’s sovereignty.
The CIPR conference has been a key platform for open dialogue among digital technology market participants for over 10 years. In recent years, discussions have focused on the challenges of quickly replacing foreign solutions and advancing national technological development goals. Today, entering its second decade, the CIPR agenda is shifting from import substitution to digital sovereignty. A key role in this process is assigned to the development of Russian industrial IT solutions.
The event’s business
program includes more than 100 sessions on the practical aspects of implementing technological solutions in production processes. The central event of the CIPR-2026 business program will be a plenary session dedicated to the digital independence of industry.
The exhibition of technological
solutions will occupy three pavilions and present both already implemented systems and promising solutions for industry and other economic sectors.
In addition, participation is expected from delegations from BRICS countries and other states interested in developing joint technological initiatives and exchanging practices in implementing digital solutions.
In addition to the business program, CIPR-2026 will feature the CIPR Digital Awards ceremony, and the city’s technology festival, «Tech-Friendly Weekend,» will be held from May 21 to 23.
The conference is organized by OMG. The event is supported by the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media of the Russian Federation, and the Government of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.
