Eastern Economic Forum ( or ВЭФ) is an international forum held each year in Vladivostok, Russia, for the purpose of encouraging foreign investment in the Russian Far East.
With the exception of 2020, the forum has been held in September of each year since 2015. The 2020 forum was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. The Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, Russia has been the venue of the forum since its inception.
The Far East Economic Forum is sponsored by the organizing committee whose members are appointed by Roscongress, an association of the Russian Government which also sponsors other international forums, such as the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
