It will count on the presence of professionals and companies from the geo-technology sector, who will participate in the event that prioritizes the interactivity and the optimization of time for those who are registered.

Since there will be several activities taking place at the same time, the registration can be done in accordance with the chosen programming so that the participant does not have to be present at the event every day. Promotional discounts are also offered for the packages of two or three-day activities.

Some international speakers were invited in order to discuss and to bring current opinions on the geo sector.
