The Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute of Australia would like to welcome participants to the XXII ISPRS Congress in Melbourne, 2012. The Congress will run for 8 days, from the 25^th August to 1^st September 2012. The program has been designed to give visitors the maximum opportunity to enjoy all the attractions that Melbourne, the State of Victoria and Australia has to offer, as well as providing a rich and rewarding social and technical program. The Congress theme, Imaging a Sustainable Future, will be well worth the journey.

In keeping with the times, and in an effort to have a Congress with minimal environmental impact (the Congress Centre has a 6 star environmental rating) much of the communication for the Congress will now be electronic. Please bookmark the URL for the Congress, and register for electronic updates. We will still provide hard copy for those who cannot receive email, but we hope to keep this to a minimum.
