We had on October 30, 2019, at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, the Spanet Instrumentation Meeting 2019. We had 69 registrations and 25 short talks covering astronomical instrumentation in the optical and radio domains (http://www.astro.iag.usp.br/~instrumentos2019/). Besides 22 short (15 min) presentations, we had 3 keynote speakers who talked about instrumentation for VLT/ELT telescopes (Dr. Chris Evans, from Edinburgh), the Mackenzie Graphene Laboratory (Christiano José Santiago de Matos, Mackgraphe) and the LNLS (Lucas Sanfelici, LNLS/MCTIC). Members of the GMTBrO also paticipated in the event.

The interest about this meeting was significantly larger than expected and consequently we had a very busy workshop, from 8AM to 18PM.

The event was considered a huge success and, in a meeting held to evaluate it, it was decided to organize a second workshop in October 2020 at the same location, but during two days instead of just one.
