ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are getting in touch with you again to comment on the news of the IX CAP. According to the current epidemiological situation, we keep the mixed or hybrid format of the congress, with which we will have a platform that allows online interaction between attendees in Salta and other geographical locations.
On the other hand, to protect the health of the face-to-face attendees, it will probably be required that we request a certificate of immunization against SARS-CoV-2. We will also keep you informed about the requirements requested by the province of Salta for people who visit us.
According to how the epidemiological situation is developing, the next announcements will detail what kind of activities (face-to-face or virtual) will be the predominant ones in the IX CAP. We trust that you will understand that decisions regarding this issue depend on circumstances external to us.
