Schedule
On May 18th with the help of Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom we will welcome Free Market Road Show, a joint project of the Austrian Economics Center, Liberty Fund, Global Philanthropic Trust, European Students for Liberty, F.A. v. Hayek Institut and many other organizations, in Kyiv.
For ten years already FMRS has been bringing together the most prominent economists, politicians and entrepreneurs to exchange their thoughts on the most important economic issues and ways to resolve them. This year’s tour across Europe and the Caucasus will be devoted to discussing the aftermath of two historic events, namely, Great Britain’s decision to leave the European Union and the election of Donald J. Trump as the President of the United States of America. Also, we will talk about the economic situation in Ukraine.
We will open the event with a Partnership Fair for our partners and like-minded people who will get a chance to present their organizations, projects and programs to our guests. We would like to offer you to bring your stand, roll-up, handouts, books and any other promotional materials. The Fair will start at 10 am.
Join us at our festival of freedom!
