With Antonella Oliviero, National Councilor of Assoprovider and publisher of OpenTLC, we take stock of the first edition of the Assoprovider Market Place, which took place in Rome on June 15, an event of which she herself was one of the creators.

"The new format of the Market Place was born from a commitment we made in Bergamo," explains Oliviero, "during the last national meeting: there we launched the idea of organizing a day dedicated exclusively to the true protagonists of the sector, the Proximity Operators, with the aim of getting in touch, exposing the issues they face, and understanding how they are addressed by colleagues."

The outcome is positive and it is certainly an experiment to be repeated:

"The day went very well and the enthusiasm we gathered during the day will help us organize similar events. Meeting, after all, is an excellent condition for growth: alone, unfortunately (or fortunately), we go nowhere."
