Arthur Orudzhaliev (AIN.UA), the organizer of the social media stream:

There is a lot of information about social media today, but most of it is a theory based on western experience. Therefore, business representatives cannot take advantage of it in our realities. We want to contribute to this by “putting” social platforms, qualified performers and potential customers of services at one table.

President of Imena.UA Alexander Olshansky:

The main trends of the year are the growth of social media, their influence on brand policy, the growth of their influence on political events and public opinion. And iForum, like a mirror, reflects these trends, giving a unique opportunity for event participants to always be on the cutting edge and write history themselves.
