Last year we advised readers to get ready for the biggest show at the Amazon most important industrial hub, Manaus. ( That article is here .)

REPORT

I have been invited to be there, witness and report about the show and the that fantastic city. I would like to already thank Suframa and the organization of the show for this premium opportunity.
