#APTLD82 is over, and here are its highlights for everyone to enjoy. Video
 
So-o-o, in a less than a week before #APTLD82, there is something to brag about: the registrations list has just been closed at an astounding 185 mark, of which 93 Members, associates and friends are going to participate on-site.
We are happy to see colleagues from Europe, Africa and the Americas join us for the Meeting, too.
The local community in Oman has been particularly keen on participating in the Meeting and we hope to see new friends very soon.
Stay tuned to more updates and visit https://aptld82.om for agenda updates and contact information.
