"Since the first edition of RSBF, the Forum has grown in stature to become Asia’s only leading business and networking platform for Russian/CIS and Singaporean/Asian businessmen. It has set a precedent in bringing together top government officials and business elite from these regions. Over the course of the three forums, attendance has almost tripled to reach over 500 delegates in 2008. In RSBF 2008, there were over 350 Russian/CIS businessmen in Singapore."
