According to one of them – President of the Russian Electronic Money and Remittance Association (REMA) Viktor Dostov, “It appeals to me a lot that every year the conference organisers try to find not just new topics for discussion, but such ones that are of real interest and concern for the market practitioners. This is great, because such discussions are very useful both for the strategic vision and for planning tactical steps.”
