Eight years after the last SuSanA meeting in Latin America (11th SuSanA meeting, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) SuSanA invited all sanitation enthusiasts from Brazil, Latin America and beyond to join. The meeting followed-up on ideas to set up a SuSanA regional chapter in Latin America that had been presented at the 24th SuSanA meeting in Stockholm. A live stream was arranged for SuSanA members who were unable to make it to Brasilia and wanted to participate virtually. It was broadcasted from 9:00 to 18:00 (UCT-3, Brasilia). The live stream was in the original language of the presentations. The recordings will be available in our YouTube channels on the upcoming weeks.
