The Annual ICR Conference has been supported over the years by President Clinton, President Yeltsin, St. Petersburg Governor Jakovlev, and is endorsed by over 50 organizations internationally. Participants have come from over 30 countries and all continents, providing excellent opportunities for important networking contacts with representatives of many organizations and societies.

The official program languages are English and Russian. Interpreters are assigned to each presentation and event, and are also available in the general conference milieu. The conference is held just outside St. Petersburg at a Russian resort hotel located on the Finnish gulf. The site for the post- conference program is a hotel more centrally located in St. Petersburg.

Historically, the ICR Conference has been funded solely by registrations. All participants, including presenters, pay their own expenses for attending. Hard-currency registrations are used to help subsidize costs of participants from economically impoverished societies around the world.

Thank you in advance for your help in sharing this information. The Annual ICR Conference continues to grow significantly in impact and global participation.
