XXVI Advertising Forum in Nizhny Novgorod: 26 years of trust, direct dialogue between business and government, and international recognition

      On September 3, 2026, one of the most anticipated industry events of the year, the XXVI Advertising Forum, kicked off in Nizhny Novgorod, bringing together professionals from across the country, government representatives, experts, and opinion leaders. Over the years, the forum has become a platform for strategic dialogue, shaping the future of the advertising industry in new economic, technological, and legal realities – and this experience in 2026 has become an example for CIS countries.

      The Chairman of the Committee on Entrepreneurship in Advertising at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia, President of the Association of Communication Agencies of Russia, Sergey Piskarev, noted:

      "By 2026, there have not been any fundamentally new tasks for the Advertising Forum. The main goal is to ensure communication between business and government, to convey entrepreneurs' issues to the state. Additionally, discussions and solutions that lead to the development of national brands, because the modern economy, it is no secret, is an economy of brands."

      The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Olga Akimova, remarked:

      "Over the 26 years of the Advertising Forum, it has transformed into one of the main strategic platforms of the advertising industry. This is confirmed by the number of participants – every year, interest in the event from business, government, experts, and regulators does not wane. Without their expert support and involvement, the forum would not be so substantive. This year's program is a snapshot of the main directions: the overall situation in the advertising market, trends in promoting national brands, AI in advertising, discussions involving regulators – the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia and the Federal Antimonopoly Service. A separate day is dedicated to outdoor advertising. This year, colleagues from the CIS joined us, which demonstrates the high status of both the Advertising Forum and Nizhny Novgorod as a platform for expert dialogue. I want to express special gratitude to the Association of Communication Agencies of Russia, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia, the Government of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, and the City Administration."

      The Chairman of the Coordination Council of the Kyrgyz Marketing Association, Aydai Mokusheva, shared her impressions of the forum:

      "In Kyrgyzstan, the advertising association was created just 2 months ago. For us, attending such a significant event as the Advertising Forum in Nizhny Novgorod is a great honor and an opportunity to learn from the positive experiences of our Russian partners."

      The Advertising Forum is already a national Nizhny Novgorod brand, uniting over 30 regions of Russia and 8 CIS countries. It shapes the agenda of the advertising market for years to come.

      Stay tuned for posts on the channel, as upcoming publications will cover important trends and figures in the advertising market overall and outdoor advertising in particular, the specifics of advertising in Nizhny Novgorod, and Nizhny Novgorod as a brand, among many other topics.
