Surovy Piter Forum 2026: Marketing, SMM and Business Growth

About the event

Surovy Piter Forum 2026 is a two-day gathering for marketing, SMM and business professionals, scheduled in St Petersburg for 24–25 October. The forum offers in-person and online participation. Its business programme combines talks and activities across several streams, allowing participants to choose subjects and a format that fit their work.

The schedule has streams on trends, local and B2B marketing, promotion for experts and online education, product launches, digital-agency management, AI tools and marketing strategy. Sessions run at the same time in different halls. A specialist can follow a market-focused stream, while a manager can combine strategy talks with practical cases.

On 24 October, announced topics include native Telegram integrations, positioning an industrial B2B brand and testing demand for a new product before major investment. The 25 October programme covers hiring in content marketing, subscription models for offline businesses and the effect of AI on sales of complex services. These individual session themes show the range of the programme without assuming identical outcomes for different companies.

The networking stream includes Business Speed Dating, project reviews and a round table on whether to change prices, audiences or products when demand falls. A live, slide-free AI-assistant build is specifically marked for in-person attendees. Some activities therefore require a visit to the venue even though an online ticket is also offered.

The in-person programme runs on 24 and 25 October at Cosmos Pribaltiyskaya Hotel, 14 Korablestroiteley Street, St Petersburg. Both days are scheduled from 10:00 to 19:00, and online access is available. Session times and halls help visitors choose between simultaneous streams.
