About 90% of the participants came from states from the South and Southeast regions.

FeSBE is affiliated with the Brazilian Society for Advancement of Science. Its current president is Dr. Gerhard Malnic. Former presidents were Eduardo Krieger, Sérgio Ferreira, Dora Fix Ventura and Antonio Carlos Campos de Carvalho.
