May 23 is the date set for the Web3 AI Conference in Nizhny Novgorod, where the event will be held at the historic DKRT mansion. Organizers are presenting it as a different kind of business forum, one built around targeted meetings rather than broad expo-style traffic, with the agenda centered on AI adoption, Web3 capitalization, and cross-border trade optimization.
According to the event description, the conference will gather 300 business owners, investors, and technology leaders. The format is pitched as a practical one. Instead of relying on chance encounters common at large conferences, the event is structured to help participants arrive with defined business goals and meetings already planned.
Meetings are arranged before delegates arrive
A key part of the format is a proprietary web platform used for what the organizers call “smart matching.” Participants can identify target contacts before the conference starts and book important meetings in advance. That means delegates reach the venue with a prepared schedule, and face-to-face time can be used for negotiations, partnership talks, and specific commercial discussions.
The approach is aimed at cutting down random networking. For companies seeking capital, distribution partners, technology integration, or international trade contacts, the pre-event matching layer is positioned as the main operating tool of the forum rather than a side feature.
EventFi turns attendance into a long-term access system
The conference also introduces an EventFi system. Under this model, participation in the event functions as a digital asset, with each attendance generating loyalty points. Those points unlock tiered benefits, including priority registration, exclusive discounts, the ability to influence discussion topics, and invitations to private dinners with industry figures.
Organizers describe that structure as a way to turn event attendance into a longer-term status and access layer inside a professional community. Conference founder Dmitry Zhukov said the event is intended as a gateway into the Web3 and AI ecosystem, with the format deliberately removing “fancy booths” and putting the focus on solutions, from using AI to improve margins to applying Web3 for capitalization and finding reliable partners for international trade.
Four participation tiers and support from industry partners
The event will offer four access tiers. “Basic” includes the main program and technology showcase. “Standard” adds full-day access, session archives, and the AFTERPARTY. “Business” includes networking tools such as community chat access, a lounge zone, and priority matching. “VIP” includes private dinners with speakers, front-row seating, and a higher status level inside the EventFi system.
Organizers also said the conference is backed by global industry participants, including Bitget exchange, along with international media partners. The event is scheduled for May 23 at DKRT in Nizhny Novgorod, and registration details are listed at web3ai.co.
