International Tech Fans Convention
The International Tech Fans Convention (FanCon) is a conference founded by Natalia Leichinskaya in 2017. It has been held for five times so far.
The conference usually takes place over a weekend in summer in St. Petersburg, lasting for two days. The event includes workshops, exchange time, and open stage, with mentors selected and invited by Natalia Leichinskaya, as well as recruiting performers.
The conference was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It resumed in 2022 on a smaller scale, and in 2023, it was shifted to an online format due to the Russia-Ukraine war.
SvetoBobr Russian Fans Challenge
The SvetoBobr Russian Fans Challenge (SBRF Challenge) is an event founded by Mihal Dobrovsky (Svetobobr) in 2019. It has been held four times so far.
The event takes place on Instagram, where Mihal selects and invites task providers. The task providers design and shoot a roughly 15-second action, and Mihal publishes two or three tasks weekly on his Instagram page, totaling between twelve to eighteen tasks. Participants are required to post a video of themselves repeating the action on their personal Instagram pages before the deadline.
After the event concludes, Mihal, along with the task providers or sponsors, selects the winners. The prizes include Svetobobr travel fans and other related discount benefits. The event has received sponsorship from LIP Fest, FanCon, Fire Fans School, and Cosmic Fans Shop.
