Events

International web conference “Pool and Spa in time of Covid-19”

Monday 22.06.2020: Web conference “Pool and Spa in time of Covid-19”. 15:00 – 18:00 CEST

Registration: https://www.triumphelearning.it/

Registration advice: without an Italian fiscal, you can type an “x” in all mandatory financial fields (16x an “x” in the fiscal code field).

We would also like to know what the guidelines for swimming pools are in the different countries. To do this, you can fill in the questionnaire online (or ask someone from your network to do it for you). Federica will present the results of this questionnaire during the conference.

You can see the program from here:
