Yes! We will be 10 years! Well, the pandemic that affects us globally led us to live this edition remotely, taking advantage of the benefits that technology offers, which this time allows us to meet virtually, taking advantage of all the applications that will allow us to interact in a fluid and efficient way , thanks to an alliance established between RedCLARA, Google and BeduTech.
