PAST – PRESENT – FUTURE

The internet has come a long way in the past 11 years since ROOTS creation. The forum has been the source of inspiration for the past nine Rooters Summits.

The Digital Era is an environment full of new Educational Initiatives & Opportunities. Now is time to evolution from the present Discussion Forums, Content Based Sites and
Blogs to a Meeting of Endo Forums, Endotecas, Endopedias, E-learning and Virtual Universities providing Webinars.

Future dates and venue for next summits are yet to be decided. The future is in your hands: get involved.
