Frequently asked questions

When and where is Future Talks?

On 22 December 2026 at Lomonosov Cluster, 1 Ramensky Boulevard, Moscow. Registration and the exhibition open at 11:00; the main programme starts at 12:00. The interview with audience questions runs from 19:00 to 20:00, the awards from 20:00 to 21:00, and evening networking until 22:00. All times on the website are Moscow time.

Which ticket should I choose?

Every ticket includes the live interview, its recording and the awards ceremony. Start also includes the exhibition, pitch session, Future Dialogue and on-site networking. Smart adds Aftertalk, a personal profile, tailored smart networking and a one-month Executive AI subscription. Business includes the full programme and the full directory of 1000+ attendees: find a person, send a request and get their contact after approval. It also includes materials, a Welcome Box and one Start guest ticket. VIP Experience adds direct access: find a person in the directory and message them immediately, without an invite or approval wait. It also includes the opportunity to ask Ilya Chekh a question, VIP meetings, access to VIP workshops with speakers, front-row seating, speaker photos and gifts. VIP includes one Smart guest ticket instead of Start.

How can I plan my day and keep track of sessions?

Open the detailed programme by room and add sessions to your personal itinerary. The website flags overlapping selections. Your itinerary is stored in the browser on your device; it is not a seat reservation or a substitute for a ticket. The programme is provisional, so check it again before travelling.

Open the programme by room ↗
What does access to the participant directory include?

Business includes the full directory of 1000+ visible profiles and advanced search: find a person → send a request → get their contact after approval. VIP Experience: find a person → message them immediately through an attendee-approved channel, without an invite or approval wait. Smart provides tailored recommendations without full-directory access. Directory exports and bulk messaging are unavailable.

How does organised networking work?

You introduce yourself, describe what you are looking for and explain what you can offer. Executive AI matches your request with other participants’ experience and interests and suggests introductions. Telegram usernames are available only when their owners allow sharing. You decide whom to contact and meet; a recommendation does not guarantee a response, a deal or investment.

Can I ask the speakers a question?

The live interview with Anna Minakova and Ilya Chekh, its recording and the awards ceremony are included in every ticket. Only VIP Experience holders may ask Ilya Chekh a question during the 19:00–20:00 interview. Prepare a short, relevant question; session time is limited. The Smart guest ticket included with VIP does not grant this benefit.

How can I present a startup or apply for an award?

Present your project at Startup Pitch Session or choose an Innovation Award category. Their pages contain requirements, criteria and questionnaires. Pitching, awards and exhibiting are separate from a visitor ticket.

Will there be recordings, online participation and materials?

Future Talks is an in-person event in Moscow. The live interview, its recording and the awards ceremony are included in all packages, starting with Start. Event materials are included in Business and VIP Experience.

What should I know about participation terms?

Each ticket card lists its price and included events. Review purchase and refund terms before booking. Pitching, award participation and exhibiting at your own stand are separate formats, not included in a visitor ticket.

How can I share my expectations and participation preferences?

Share your goals and preferences in the short survey below — no ticket is needed. Choose what you want from the event and which participation arrangements matter to you. Taking part is voluntary; no contact or medical details are needed.

How does the +1 guest ticket work?

Business at ₽7,900 includes your Business ticket and one Start ticket for a guest. VIP Experience at ₽35,000 includes your VIP ticket and one Smart ticket for a guest, replacing the Start guest ticket. Each package contains two tickets, not three. The guest receives the benefits of their own package; VIP discussions, reception and other VIP benefits belong only to the VIP ticket holder.
