Summary: IUFRO2019 was organized through a joint effort involving the SFB and Embrapa, both of which are linked to MAPA, and presented impressive numbers for an international event held for the first time in Latin America: 2,725 people from 96 different countries, 195 technical sessions, 1,648 oral sessions and 964 poster sessions, in addition to more than 31 side events. The exchange of knowledge, research, and information at IUFRO2019 was invaluable to all the researchers who had the honor of participating, including the 35 professionals representing SFB. In the Brazil Space, an area to raise awareness about national public policy, we introduced the forest concession program, the Rural Environmental Register, the National Forest Inventory, and the Forest Products Laboratory. In the Sociobiodiversity Products Exhibition and Fair we highlighted the bioeconomy, a pathway to income for the 20 million people who live in the forests of the Amazon region. An event of this magnitude cannot take place without hard work on the part of many partners, sponsors, suppliers, and staff. With the satisfaction of a job well done, we are pleased to share the text commemorating this successful event with Brazilian as well as international readers. We hope it reminds you of new learning and good times, and that you share this information with the forest community.
