Hola!!! A ver si me pueden dar una mano. El texto dice así:

"Este encuentro será el sitio ideal de discusión seria donde coincidirán pensadores y artistas, científicos e ingenieros, tanto consagrados como en formación".

Este texto forma parte de una invitación a un congreso.

¿Cómo decirlo de manera sencilla pero "elegante"?

Gracias!!!

Hellen

Explanation:
"artists and thinkers" and "scientists and engineers" are semantically related, so I'd maintain the grouping

i also like Reed's "veterans and trainees"
