“During the past edition, technology has supported us a lot in organizing an innovative event which has revealed a great success – underlines Vincenzo Poerio, YARE President – and it was the first time that this type of yachting events had to deal with full digital. Our hope is, first of all, to overcome the emergency and be able to hold an edition in Viareggio that includes in-presence activities. Nevertheless, the results achieved – also in terms of participation from all over the world – encourage and convince us to continue with a digital format as well”.
