According to director Rosa Castells, Formentera20 is “a chance to network, share ideas, get inspired and learn about what’s happening in the digital world in the company of industry leaders and in the some of the island’s most breathtaking settings”.

Target audience
Formentera20 is for passionate professionals of the digital world—for communicators, marketing lovers and individuals who want to be in the know to better articulate their project or business proposal. Participants also share space, and that closeness makes it possible to have real networking and ideas exchange, which can serve as the catalysts for new projects. Castells says this is what makes Formentera20 truly unique.
