The preliminary program of the event, organized entirely on a virtual platform, will allow the participation of a greater number of congressmen and may be consulted soon on the website www.abtcp2020.org.br The program is being organized, considering time zones of several keynotes. countries and congressmen from Brazil and the world, to offer the best international agenda.
