Dear FEIBP and ABMA friends and media partners,
I hope this message finds you well.
Please click here for the presentation that we had during ABMA congress and here for the draft of my speech (in person it may have been a bit different, but the main concepts are there). This will work as the monthly press release and it covers, during a beautiful ABMA convention, the update on FEIBP congress and on World Brush Expo (only 2 months missing!).
Regarding the World Brush Expo I would like to highlight the importance of the promotion of the event in these last 2 months until the show. We all must do our best in order to guarantee the maximum number of visitors. In these days of ABMA congress, I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people that are "still thinking about it"... and already a lot of visitors have registered. This means there's still a great opportunity gap and we can really make it the best brush-show ever if we really commit to it.
Here is the link to the folder where you can find a lot of pictures of some of the sessions and the speeches by Chris (ABMA president), Miguel (emerging leaders' president), some of the fantastic speakers of these days, and myself (pictures by Carlos Petzold). Feel free to use these pictures.

Another highlight must be done on the digital analytics and the hard data we already have around WBE: over 20k users from over 113 different countries speaking 41 different languages... this is how international the WBE is going to be.
For this and for much more, dear press partners and friends, I count on you!
I thank you in advance and I wish you the best for the next months until we will all meet in Bologna,
(but of course we will be in touch before that moment).
And I would like to conclude this email with the same closing remarks on the speech.
...
… this is an important moment of change in our industries and economies…
The world is fighting, and we find reasons to dance (eventually dressed like hippies in Ibiza)…
The world is pushing up costs and we are investing into a gathering like this one…
The world is promoting division and segregation and we are joining together, building bridges, and organizing the World Brush Expo…
I think that you all, as leaders in the brush industry, deserve an applause for this… thank you!
