Trying to transmit in a few words the sensations that today goes through our heads. 7 years have passed from the creation of OUR (everyones) Event, memory brings us some reflections such as the following one (1) : The PRESENT is always the future (result) of the past: the ability to do something today is a consequence of the preparation of that ability developed by the training of yesterday. Likewise, the PRESENT is the past (cause) of the future: the ability to do something tomorrow is based on the preparation of that ability developed by today’s training.

And thinking about the origin of PRESENTES, today we recall how, with the anxiety of five businesses, we finish being thirty seven true defiant of the crisis the ones who faced with COURAGE and DECISION, but above all with SHARED VISION, to undertake this trip called "We are PRESENT", in August 2002.

We did not have any idea of the results we were going to obtain, but we did have conviction to join our forces and our desires. We were surprised when we surpass the most optimistic expectations on the assembly and the repercussion of our first exposition, in the middle of the crisis.

Essential qualities as responsibility, excellence, discipline, uprightness, humility and respect, started

transforming into the values that guided and guide our actions.

Therefore we feel proud to have achieved a true community of ideas, values and objective, in a country where these examples are scarce. This is the essence of our project: the unit that powers and achieves synergy without the loss of identity of each member.

We are all participants of this success: the first five, the thirty-something that believed in the project, the ones that continued, and the two hundred forty that today are PRESENTES.

We, the participating businesses want to take advantage of this privileged space to reconfirm that “We are PRESENT” is not only an Exposition, or a passing adventure, or a season opportunity. Since PRESENTS we have relaunched the codes and the relation among all the actors of our activity. And this achievement already has marked a before and after since its creation.
