And one of the things we were clear about from the first edition was that we wanted everyone to know that this event is being held in Barcelona, showcasing everything that defines us: our culture, gastronomy, art... In this sixth edition, we will further enhance experiential activities, offering a wider range of options and opening the doors of such a unique building as the DFactory to all attendees.".
