Integration of Congress and Exhibition
Both the ISPRS Congress and Exhibition will be held at the
Amsterdam RAI International Exhibition & Congress Cen-
tre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The Exhibition will be
situated in the Delta Hall, next to the majority of meeting
rooms and the registration area. Interaction between
exhibitors and congress attendees will be stimulated
through daily exhibitor showcases (see: Exhibitor Show-
case) as well as free coffee and tea, served in the exhibi-
tion hall during the breaks between sessions.
Registration of Co-exhibitors
Commercial exhibitors will be allowed to share the stand
with their distributors, manufacturers and/or suppliers,
provided that prior notice is given to, and written approval
obtained from, Rose International. Upon written approval
from Rose International, the main exhibitor, i.e. the compa-
ny applying for the exhibit space and signing the Exhibit
Application Form, will be charged with the fee of NLG
1,200 (EURO 545), excluding VAT, for each co-exhibitor.
This fee covers 1 exhibitor badge per company, plus free
listing in the Exhibition Catalogue. The main exhibitor will
be responsible and thus liable for his co-exhibitor(s).
Please note that the main exhibitor will be the only contact
for Rose International.
Registration of co-exhibitors is possible on the enclosed
Exhibit Application Form or with the special form which will
be included in the Exhibitors Manual.
Exhibitors' Reception
A ceremonial opening of the exhibition will be part of the
plenary opening session of the congress on Monday 17th
July, whereas the traditional exhibitors' reception, where all
congress attendees meet, will be held in the exhibition hall
at the end of that same first day: a friendly way of starting
off the week's activities. The exhibitor's contribution to this
event is included in the Exhibit Participation Costs.
