The dinner was held in the heart of Paris – in the Pavilion Gabriel on the Champs Elysees.
Numerous terraces allowed organizers to experiment with lighting and outdoor décor: guests enjoyed making pictures with branded sculptures of Russian dolls covered with colorful lighting. The entertaining program was focused on world famous Urals-born Russian entrepreneurs and scientists, such as Mendeleev, Diaghilev and Demidov in a performance which brought a number of famous Russian actors, musicians and singers from Russia to Paris for the event. The national character of Russia was also reflected in the menu: Russian-style drinks and dishes were designed to support the theme.
