Several companies will participate remotely, and will offer products and solutions via video, through registration to attend the exhibition. This will be available in advance to prevent the accumulation of visitors, provided that entry is through the QR Code.
The organising company will also provide automatic sterilisation gates, temperature measurements of visitors at the external gate, thermal cameras, face masks and disinfectants, with a commitment to periodically sterilising the various sides of the exhibition. Benya, the official sponsor of the exhibition, will distribute more than 50,000 masks for visitors and exhibitors.
