Calling all whizzes of marketing, communications and creativity: FORMENTERA20 is back

foto 2021 f 2.0The Formentera office of tourism reports that from 27 to 30 May, Formentera20 will celebrate its ninth year as a forum where authorities on digital culture mingle and share ideas and talent. Scheduled to play out in an array of local settings, the four-day event will embody the Formentera20 hashtag #DesconnectarPerConnectar [DisconnectToConnect].

Consell premiere and tourism chief Alejandra Ferrer shared her satisfaction at seeing plans move forward for the local gathering of industry pros. “It’s more than a just boost to our off-season numbers”, she insisted, “because attendees actually help promote Formentera while they’re here”. That extra help is particularly important now amid the pandemic, she added, “because Formentera20 participants will be able to enjoy the island and tell the world about our wealth of outdoor spaces on social media”.

In the words of Formentera20 director Rosa Castells, the event is “a chance to network, share ideas, get inspired, spend time with industry leaders and learn about what’s happening in the digital world”. As in years past, celebrated prodigies of marketing, communications and creative industries will be on hand to share expertise and ideas and see the latest trends in digital culture. Castells told attendees to expect “a lineup of world-class speakers”, with organisers covering the worldly-wise quotient with guests like HBO vice-president Patricia Reis and @isabelitavirtual, a creative chief whom Webby Awards celebrated for Best Content in Art and Culture.

Expert speakers:
Patricia Reis, VP Marketing, HBO
Mónica Moro, Managing Director of Creativity, McCann Espanya
Elena Bule, Communications Chief, Twitter Espanya
Carlos Fernández Guerra, Digital Chief & Social Media Manager, Iberdrola
Miquel Martí, CEO, Barcelona Tech City | www.barcelonatechcity.com
Mar Abad, Director and Co-founder, El Extraordinario podcast [Former Yoroboku founder and Brands & Roses producer]
Soraya Castellanos, Spain Lead, TiK ToK
Isabel Martínez, Creative Director, @isabelitavirtual
Javier Piedrahita, Director, Marketingdirecto.com [moderator]

Who is Formentera20's 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.

Discussion will centre on communications, marketing, creativity, branding, content, social media and how to use the ever present resource more proficiently. Participants also share space, and that closeness makes it possible for real networking to take place and ideas to be exchanged, often the catalysts for new projects. Castells says this is what makes Formentera20 truly unique.

Interested parties can find out more and sign up at www.formentera20.com, but spaces are going fast. To encourage participation, organisers have implemented a 50% discount for Formentera residents.

Consell removes 186 abandoned vehicles in 2020 and 2021

foto 2021 retirada vehiclesThe Formentera Department of Environment reports that 186 cast-off vehicles were towed from public roads and private land between last year and the first three months of 2021, an effort performed with help from the Formentera Local Police. During the same period, hazardous components were removed from 263 vehicles at the Ca na Negreta vehicle decontamination site, or CAT.

FDE chair Antonio J Sanz said the department had ramped up removals and streamlined the process over the previous year in a bid to tackle what is an increasingly common problem. “Derelict vehicles on the public thoroughfare and private land aren’t just eyesores”, insisted Sanz, “they’re also the source of a substantial amount of environmental pollution”. Islanders who wish to dispose of an old vehicle should go to Es Cap waste management site (CAT) directly or call Ca na Negreta at 971 575 118.

Fines and towing
FDE has issued 81 fines for junked vehicles this year alone. Dumping infractions are typically classed, according to the related municipal bylaw, as “serious” or “very serious”, with associated fines ranging from €751 to €1,500 and €1,500 to €3,000, respectively.

When it is suspected a vehicle has been abandoned, protocol requires that a member of FDE staff and a local law enforcement officer affix a decal identifying the vehicle as derelict. The vehicle’s owner then has one month to rectify the mistake and move their vehicle, otherwise it is towed to the Es Cap tip and the owner receives a notice and fine.

Owners can reclaim their vehicle at any time provided they pay storage and towing fees. When the established wait period elapses, unclaimed vehicles are sent to the CAT for decontamination.

Es retarda al 15 de maig l’aplicació de l’ordenança que prohibeix la realització d’obres que ocasionin molèsties als nuclis urbans i zones turístiques

El Consell de Formentera, a través de l’àrea de Territori, informa que el 15 de maig entrarà en vigor l’ordenança de remors i vibracions que prohibeix la realització d’obres que puguin ocasionar molèsties als nuclis urbans o zones turístiques. Habitualment l’ordenança està en vigor entre l’1 de maig i el 15 d’octubre, segons ha recordat el conseller de l’àrea, Rafael González, que ha destacat que “aquest any l’hem posposat 15 dies, ja que l’inici de la temporada turística també s’ha retardat, i així permetem que es continuï fomentant l’economia local i que es puguin finalitzar certes obres que també a causa de la crisi originada per la covid han pogut patir retards”.

Recordam que cada temporada en els nuclis urbans o zones turístiques només es poden executar les obres que no ocasionin molèsties tals com remors i vibracions que normalment són produïdes per excavacions i construccions de fonaments i estructures. També queda prohibida l’ocupació de via pública amb bastides.

D’altra banda, cal destacar que sí que es podran realitzar obres menors o interiors que no ocasionin molèsties al veïnat i d’altres motivades per la reparació d’avaries en les conduccions existents que han de ser solucionades per motius de seguretat i/o salubritat, o obres urgents que no admetin dilació, amb sol·licitud prèvia que s’haurà d’analitzar i resoldre, cas per cas, per part del Consell.
