As the organizer of the conference, we give many thanks for the contribution of the participants to the UNITECR 2019 was held in Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Japan, from October 13th to 16th.
Due to the influence of the huge typhoon No. 19, there were cancellations or delays in flights from overseas to Japan, and there were a considerable number of cancellations of attendance and presentations.
However, since many people attended and presented in the congress despite such difficulties, the UNITECR 2019 became a large excellent congress.
