From October 29 to 31, Kazan will host the fifth anniversary international forum Kazan Digital Week 2026. This large‑scale IT event will bring together developers, businesses, heads of digital ministries from foreign countries, and leading scientists at the Kazan Expo venue to discuss trends in the digital economy.
Between October 29 and 31, the capital of Tatarstan will become a hub for the global IT community. The fifth anniversary Kazan Digital Week 2026 forum will be held at the Kazan Expo International Exhibition Centre, having confirmed its status as one of the key regular platforms for dialogue between developers, business, and government in the field of digital technologies.
The forum is organised by the Association for the Promotion of Digital Development, with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation and the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan.
