Moscow plays a special role in Russia's move toward the Information Society. This is a city with the highest rate of educated people and the best information and communication infrastructure in the country. It is a major node of national and international telecommunication networks, and a centre of mass communication. The broadband society is not a dream here but a part of Muscovites' everyday life. Moscow is a city where the overwhelming majority of national scientific, research and education institutions, libraries and information centres are concentrated, which could be helpful in terms of developing professional contacts for conference participants.

Being a capital, Moscow hosts managing structures of almost all major domestic and many international business structures, it also leads the list of Russian regions in terms of budget income and direct foreign investments - this makes the city the most attractive place for living and making business in Russia. In addition, Moscow is very attractive for tourists due to its historic (the city is 859 years old) and cultural heritage represented by its great number and variety of monuments, museums, theatres, etc. Old and modern combine here in a good way so that everyone can find something that suits them.

The Moscow Kremlin is magnificent at this time of year making it one of the world's wonders and well worth seeing.
