Day 2 opened with the discussion panel "Digital Disruption - 10 Years On" organised by EM, a financial and corporate communications consultancy. The participants discussed changes in culture, media, banking and other areas, which will be driven by technology in the near future. Tom Blackwell, CEO of EM, moderated the discussion which gathered Brian Pallas, Founder of Opportunity Network; Hanna Aase, Founder of Wonderloop; Tatiana Lysova, Editor-in-Chief of Vedomosti; Michael Hecker, Managing Director of Redline Capital; Andrey Kuzyaev, President of ER-Telecom, Egor Yakovlev, Founder of Tvigle; and Fekla Tolstoy, Development Director, Leo Tolstoy Museum.

Day 3 of the WEF was key for the Russian delegation in Davos. Dmitry Kostygin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ulmart, represented the interests of the Russian business community in the live debate "Russia's Role in the World," whose key speaker was Igor Shuvalov, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.  

"I have been an investor for many years and believe that Russia is currently undervalued. I am confident that 2017 will be successful for business and that means for the economy too," Dmitry Kostygin said during the debate.

For the duration of the event, guests of the official Russian residence were able to take a virtual tour of the venue of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) to be held on 1-3 June 2017. Over 400 Russian and international guests have watched the cutting edge presentation of the SPIEF.

Russia House's informal events included an official reception and traditional hockey match featuring renowned politicians, corporate leaders and professional hockey players including Stanley Cup stars.
