39th Smart-Lab Conference — Moscow 2026

About the event

The 39th Smart-Lab Conference is scheduled for 31 October 2026 in Moscow. This in-person meeting is intended for private investors, traders, analysts, issuers, large funds, financial advisers and people who create market-related content. Eight halls will host talks and discussions on Russian equities, bonds, trading and investment strategies.

The programme includes issuer sessions, contributions from Moscow Exchange representatives, a discussion bringing brokers, the exchange and businesses together, and a roundtable of asset managers. Topics include company growth in a changing macroeconomic environment, return on equity, the bond market and the role of closed-end mutual funds in an investor’s portfolio. These sessions bring together perspectives from investors, fund managers and companies.

Other talks focus on practical approaches: how investors can use artificial intelligence, trading strategies for the Russian market, long-term investing and lessons from a decade of investing in shares. The announced programme also includes forecasts for 2027, digital tools for trading, and a session on connecting an LLM agent with FinamTrade through MCP. With several halls running across the day, visitors can choose sessions that match their interests, from company analysis to active trading.

The business programme runs from 10:00 to 20:00 at the Oktyabr cinema, 24 Novy Arbat Street, Moscow, near Smolenskaya and Arbatskaya metro stations. Registration is scheduled from 09:00 to 18:00. Talks are spread across eight halls, so checking the published timetable in advance can help visitors plan which sessions to attend.

A separate afterparty is scheduled from 20:30 to 03:00 at Metelitsa Event Hall, across from the cinema. The organiser offers an All Time ticket for those attending both the conference and the afterparty; the Standard ticket covers the conference. This makes it possible to choose the format in advance. The event is for people seeking market discussions and direct conversation with others involved in investing and trading.
