10. Advertisement and Communications
Right from the beginning, the Local Organising Committee
started to advertise the Congress by placing ads in pro-
fessional journals. Some 15,000 copies of the First
Announcement were sent to congresses and individuals.
Based upon the reply card, an accurate and up-to-date
address list could be prepared. The Second Announce-
ment, containing the full programme, was sent to some
13,000 addresses, many of these announcements were
disseminated at other congresses.
An exhibition stand which was specially made to promote
the congress, was shown at other conferences, workshops,
symposia and exhibitions in different parts of the world.
Some members of the Local Organising Committee per-
sonally went to ISPRS Symposia and many other interna-
tional meetings, including the UNISPACE Ill Conference
held in Vienna in July 1999, to spread propaganda for the
Congress and to explain its goals and objectives and the
proposed programme.
The Final Programme was published and given to partici-
pants at the Congress. It contained the full scientific and
technical programme, as well as detailed information
about the social programme and the exhibition.
During the days of the Congress days, the ISPRS Daily
was published; in total seven issues were disseminated to
participants, giving the latest news on the Congress.
The Editorial Committee of the ISPRS Daily consisted of
the following persons:
Johan Boesjes
Stephen Booth
Marc Cheves
Trea Hofma
Lucas Janssen
Cees Jongepier
Mathias Lemmens
Jan Hein Loedeman
Floris Siteur
Finally, the Congress Proceedings were published in a
series of 3 CD-ROMs. Two were given to participants at
the beginning of the Congress, the third CD-ROM was
