IAADFS and ASUTIL are appreciative of the support shown by exhibitors, sponsors, attendees, and the designated media partners – and of course the fantastic work done by the teams at The Moodie Davitt Report and FILTR Qingwa, the official virtual stand contractor and designer of the visuals used for the virtual environment. “During this difficult COVID-19 period, it was important for us to provide an opportunity for our industry to come together through a cost-effective and user-friendly platform to connect with each other and learn in anticipation of the pandemic recovery that we are all anxiously awaiting,” commented IAADFS President and CEO Michael Payne. José Luis Donagaray, ASUTIL Secretary-General, added, “The excellent sessions featured in the Knowledge Hub gave a huge amount of very important information to help keep our colleagues updated and better prepared for when traffic levels and sales begin to improve.”
