El Congreso concentrará en dos días (21 y 22 de septiembre) a los mejores diseñadores y programadores web internacionales y nacionales del momento que compartirán con más de 900 asistentes sus experiencias, inquietudes e inspiraciones.
El Congreso, que tendrá lugar este año en el Palacio Municipal de Congresos del Campo de las Naciones de Madrid, en horario de 11 de la mañana a 8 de la tarde, pondrá de manifiesto los avances e innovaciones en el ámbito del diseño y arte digital aplicado a las nuevas tecnologías de la información.
