It will be held in São Luís (Brazil), which is the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Maranhão, located in the Upaon-açu Island. Besides its warm beaches, São Luís has a beautiful colonial Historical Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a common stopover for visiting the stunning Lençóis Maranhenses.

Entertaining platforms are going to be used to promote interactive actions between local and remote participants.
