About
Are you ready to shape the digital landscape of the future? The «Sheregesh» Youth Forum 2026 is calling upon 300 of the brightest digital minds to descend upon the heart of Siberia for an intensive, high-impact IT creative experience! This is not just another conference; it is a hands-on mission to build a unique chatbot in the MAX messenger that will serve as the primary digital assistant for youth across Russia. Whether you are a developer, designer, or communications strategist, this is your moment to leave a permanent mark on the industry.
Participants can dive into specialized tracks including IT and Digital Services, UX/UI Design, Content Communications, and Youth Policy. This forum offers a unique blend of practical product development and professional networking. You will work in high-intensity design labs and UI workshops led by federal experts, moving far beyond traditional lectures into real-world application. The best solutions developed during the forum will be integrated into the final bot, providing authors with incredible career visibility and ongoing project support. If you are aged 18-35 and want to write your name in the story of Siberian digitalization, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for!
