Forming the thematic core of ITAPA conferences, modern technologies and digitization prove their significance probably more than ever before. While fully relying on the potential of the online space to deliver equally good-quality content to our participants, we believe that the near future will once again belong to the uniqueness of face-to-face social contact. Thus, we strongly hope that the congress halls at the ITAPA  International Congress 2020 will be full of enthusiasts once again.
