get-together party, reception and banquet.


Exhibition

Publishers will be invited to exhibit their products.
A visit to local companies and institutions involved
in the field (mostly remote sensing) will be arranged.


Social Programme

The social programme planned includes visits to the Lyngen
Peninsula, North Cape and Spitzbergen. Participants and
accompanying persons are invited to bring cross-country or
mountain skiing equipment as the skiing conditions in the
mountains are normally superb in late May. Sea-fishing will
also be arranged and we will have a good chance of enjoying
all these activities in the midnight sun. We emphasize that
in Tromsoe, also called the "Gateway to the arctic", the
midnight sun lasts from approximately the 20th of May until
the 20th of July. The scenery at the time of the conference
will be that of snowy mountains with daylight the whole night
through as the sun never goes to rest. The indoor activities
will consist of a get-together party on the first night of
the conference and the Conference Banquet both of which are
included in the conference fee,  while there is an extra fee
for accompanying persons.
