My expectation was that WIPOS 2022 would be a good opportunity to network with colleagues and showcase some of the work we do in Brazil. But Laszlo raised the bar and the conference turned out to be much more than just that. The days flew by in beautiful Honolulu. This was due to the friendly environment combined with the outstanding scientific level of the program. The organization was amazing, the venue perfect, the presentations fantastic, and of course I met some great people and colleagues I hadn’t seen in a long time. In the end, I have to say that this was one of the best conferences I have been to in a long time, not only for the reasons I mentioned above, but also because of the fruitful collaboration that started there. When work allows us to have such experiences, what more do we need? Many thanks to Laszlo and to the whole team that was involved in making this possible.
