The ICSE general chairs Marcos Kalinowski and Rafael Prikladnicki, together with the technical PC chairs, open the first ever ICSE to be held in Brazil with a record number of submissions and, in consequence, an overwhelming review process. Impressive!

Hello University of Helsinki! If it weren't for the productive days and great company, the blueberry juice alone would have been reason enough to come. Some even say that this juice is so successful that they've built an entire airline around it. 😅
