DIRECTIONS EMEA 2021, SOME NEWS FROM MILAN
For various reasons, this year I am not present at Directions EMEA in Milan.
However, in the evening I collected some images published today by the participants and some colleagues, I republish the most interesting ones I found, they could be useful for those who were not present at the event.
By the weekend I will update the post with more images and other topics that I find interesting.
Remember that …some pictures are better than a thousand words!
