Venue
The 10th IACAT conference will take place in São Paulo, Brazil at the iconic FIESP (Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo) building. Located in the heart of Avenida Paulista, it is a landmark of São Paulo architecture and a vibrant hub of culture and business. Known for its distinctive triangular façade, which stands out in the urban landscape, the building was inaugurated in 1979 and houses not only the Federation’s offices but also important cultural spaces open to the public. Its strategic location on São Paulo’s most famous avenue makes it a reference point and a hub for diverse activities, connecting the industrial world with the city’s cultural life. It is next to the Trianon metro station, on the Green Line 2, and a 5-minute walk from the São Paulo Museum of Art.
