“The quality and number of potential clients for us are very high at the congress. Therefore, I believe that we are solving all our tasks of getting to know each other, continuing networking, and discussing where the equipment can be used. There is a large concentration of key, important people on the part of the customer and indeed the most modern advanced technologies that suppliers can offer.”
“Out of 25-30 contacts, 10-12 companies that come with a specific task that we are solving become real contracts. 40% of our contacts that we encounter grow into real clients, real businesses, and real contracts. Vostock Capital always tries to invite top specialists. These are people who make decisions or influence decision-making in the company. The organiser creates a certain boutique-ness and helps to network with people who are difficult to reach.”
My name is Jia Yafeng. I represent Zhengzhou Jinquan Mining and Metallurgical Equipment Co., Ltd. from China. Our main specialisation is equipment for processing and refining of precious metals. It is a great honour for us to participate in this event. The level of organisation is really professional. We are glad to have the opportunity to come to Moscow and take part in such a significant forum in the field of mineral processing.
The most valuable thing for me at this event is getting to know the people who make decisions regarding the purchase of goods of the product range that we supply.
Each company has a manager assigned to it by the organisers. And this significantly relieves the headache of trying to find a customer and try to arrange a meeting with them. This is, of course, a big plus.
We usually have from 20 to 25 personal meetings per forum. It’s a pretty busy schedule.
The assistants here solve a very big task. This is one of the most important options that distinguish this format from others.
“We have managed to establish close ties with the Corporation for the Development of the Far East. Primorye Region is our new promising region of presence. Without getting to know each other on your forum, it would be difficult to establish such business contacts due to the difference in territory, time, and subject matter. You can find a lot of contacts from different fields at the event. It is important to set the task in advance — there are really a lot of participants.
We are glad that such an event as the Congress Gold Mining Russia and CIS takes place annually. We take part in it. We are actively participating in the sessions now. The event is wonderful. We recommend that all colleagues from gold mining also join the participants.
We are frequent guests, and we have been working with Vostock Capital for probably five years now. We participate in conferences, conduct negotiations at the venues that this company arranges for us, have good parity and results from mutually beneficial activities. The impression is positive, only dynamics and only forward. This helps us, as equipment suppliers, as well as customers, to find common ground and fully ensure a non-stop work cycle. There is potential and a good future for development here in terms of financial support for our company’s employees and production utilisation.
“The Vostock Capital format is interesting because there is a moment when people are brought to you and it’s easier to start networking. The manager of a meeting is very important. The person is already ready, there is something to talk about, and the networking takes place more calmly.”
I would like to note the deep involvement of the audience, here we meet with professionals in their industry involved in both mining and equipment production.
This is the second time we are participating in your event. We believe that everything is going well, and we will continue to participate.
I would like to note that the event is very well organised. It can be seen that people from different spheres related to the gold industry have gathered.
For sure, the expectations were satisfied. In fact, the event is very significant. We see business representatives, gold miners, contractors, suppliers, and representatives of regulatory authorities gathering. Indeed, this is the moment when we can work out some kind of unified position in such difficult times. Everyone can see that we have an unstable situation right now. This is exactly the moment when you can understand that the industry is united. I also represent a gold mining company. It is always interesting to know what projects other colleagues have, how they solve challenges, both external and internal regulation. The agenda is very good, relevant, always useful and interesting. You get some new ideas, understand new approaches to solving your current work tasks. There are scheduled meetings, there are new acquaintances with suppliers.
The sessions are interesting, especially the reports of highly experienced people expressing energy. 56 years in the industry and energy for another 56 years ahead. The questions are relevant, and it’s very interesting to listen. For sure, it is important to hold such events to connect the expert community. The arrangement is good, the list of participants is dense, the speakers and the sessions are interesting.
