Moscow – On Sunday 1 August a team representing Barbados participated in the Mildberry Moscow Regatta, an event at the Royal Yacht Club, Moscow, which brings together sailing enthusiasts, Russian celebrities and socialites, as well as leading journalists and representatives of the Russian travel industry.

Taking part in the Regatta for the first time, Barbados entered a joint-team with My Planet, Russia’s first TV channel dedicated to travel, science and history. My Planet will visit Barbados later this month to produce a special documentary profiling the island as an up-and-coming destination for Russia’s emerging middle class.

Russians are sailing, surfing and diving in ever greater numbers. Eventica Communications, Barbados’ official PR representative in Russia, is running a year-long campaign highlighting water sports holidays in Barbados. “This event was just the beginning of a promotional campaign that will climax in a Russia Regatta and festival of water sports in Barbados next February,” said Sergei Kolushev, CEO, Eventica.

Eventica’s Design and Production team are proud to be working with the Russia 2018/2022 World Cup Bid Committee on a series of international events in the run-up to the announcement of the host nations for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in December 2010. Our first project was the design, production and project management of the Bid’s stand and branded ‘network café’ at the ‘Russia – Country of Sport’ Forum in Moscow on 29 July – 1 August 2010. Eventica provided a range of event support services, from the creation and production of an eye-catching and high-tech exhibition stand to the production of promotional giveaways. Central to the exhibition display was a state-of-the-art interactive multi-touch screen table, which allowed Forum delegates to navigate around Russia with their fingertips, ‘visiting’ the host cities of the Russian bid and seeing for themselves the fantastic 3D plans for the stadiums that are central to the Russian bid.

The Russia 2018/2022 Network Café, which Eventica also created for the event, featured an engaging historical timeline, illustrated by large-format lightboxes running along the length of the space, charting the key dates in Russian football from the beginning of the 20th century through to the present day.
