Dear Friends!

The GCE Group invites you to take part in the work of the VIII International Forum on Industrial Safety.  The forum will take place on May 24th-27th, 2010 in the historic center of Saint Petersburg, in the Smolny Cathedral Concert-Exhibition Hall.  The Smolny ensemble is one of the finest architectural complexes in the Russian baroque style (address:  Rastrelli Square 3/1).

The Forum takes place with the support of the Intergovernmental Council on Industrial Safety.  The program includes a press conference, a reception for representatives of the state authorities of the countries participating in the Forum, two days’ of plenary sessions, visits to industrial enterprises, presentations by utility companies, and also a rich cultural program.

Let’s remember that the VIII International Forum on Industrial Safety traditionally takes place during “White Nights” which is, undoubtedly, one of the hallmarks of Saint Petersburg.  Moreover, the 27th of May commemorates the founding of the city.  Various festivals, parades, street celebrations, and concerts will be arranged to coordinate with this date.

The VII International Forum on Industrial Safety took place May 26th-29th, 2009 on the grounds of the state “Palace of Congresses” complex (in Strel’na, a suburb of Saint Petersburg).  Representatives of industries and government oversight agencies from 16 countries of the world took part in the Forum:  Russia, Germany, Austria, Brazil, USA, Kazakhstan, RSA, Poland, Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Moldova, and Armenia.
