I'm doing cursory research for a possible website. Is anyone aware of similar conferences to the one below which may be held in Russia or the CIS?
Thank you.

Commercial Law Reform in Russia and Eurasia

DIRECTIONS TO WILSON CENTER REGISTRATION CONTACT
This conference is held in honor of Peter Maggs, Professor of Law and Clifford M. and Bette A. Carney Chair of Law, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, for his contribution to the field of legal reform in Russia and other former Soviet nations. Professor Maggs has had a profound impact on this field of study, both through his own prodigious scholarship and by his willingness to serve as a mentor to younger scholars.
The conference brings together leading legal experts from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the United States, Canada, and Europe to assess the extent to which the legal infrastructure needed for a competitive market economy has been established and what future regulatory and legal reforms and policies are necessary.
