Mikhail Osin, Ozon.ru, is sure that for everyone, the first impressions of RIF are something special: Mael Gavet, who came to the forum for the first time, also had unforgettable impressions.

"I remember very well how we came to RIF+KIB with our previous CEO list of bulgaria cell phone numbers several years ago. It was not our first RIF, and in her life it was almost the first large-scale Internet event in Russia. It was already late evening and we told her that the best thing to do at this time was to go to Pumba.
 She clearly did not expect this from the conference: the audience in Pumba was in exactly the state that everyone likes to talk about later. Literally five minutes into our stay inside, one of the dancing couples skidded, and they knocked over the neighboring table with all the food and drinks on it.
It was a shock for her. But she was even more surprised in the morning, seeing how with the dawn every day RIF again turns into the largest significant business event of the Internet industry"

Long road
Konstantin Roshchupkin, Ashmanov and Partners, gave us a very short but profound answer about what happens at RIF+KIB when you lead a section.

"1) The very first impression of RIF+KIB - How many people! RuNet is growing!
2) The most memorable event - when you ride the bus to Lesnye Dali along Rublevskoe Highway.
3) The most productive RIF - the first one.
4) The stupidest section - the section you didn't get to.
5) The longest night at RIF - when you are the organizer of the section, which starts tomorrow at 10:00"

"The very first impression of RIF has already faded. We simply got together once a year and discussed the "acute pains" of working in the Internet space. The most memorable was 2006 - then 1327 people came against 750 the previous year. The longest night at RIF - this was my last night at RIF. When we were going "home" at 2 a.m. after a long argument, two men came out of the forest to me and said: "Lyubov, we have been waiting for you. We want to tell you about our company"
