ISU 2011 Congress in The Netherlands

International Stereoscopic Union 2011 Congress in The Netherlands
The 17th ISU-congress will be organized in The Netherlands from 17-23 August 2011. It will be the global 3D event of the year. The Congress and hotel accommodation will be in one location which will make it very attractive to "mix and mingle" with stereo friends from all over the world! The Congress complex has its own swimming pool (which is open to the guests at no cost) and two inhouse bars. The Congress is open to members and non-members (at a slightly higher cost) of the ISU.
The ISU (see below) is a non-profit organisation promotion stereoscopy / 3D on a global scale. Every two years somewhere in the world a Congress is organised by a national stereo / 3D club. In 2011 the Netherlands Society for Stereo Photography ("Nederlandse Vereniging voor Stereofotografie - N.V.v.S.) will be responsible for hosting a congress. Location for the Congress will be hotel Zuiderduin in Egmond aan Zee. Booking packages will be offered for reservation, meals and tours. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are in buffet form and so everybody will be able to compose meals to his/her own taste and religious regulations. Excluded from all booking packages is the ISU2011NLD final dinner/banquet for which separate booking will have to be done. Also excluded is the Congress fee which will have to be paid directly to the ISU2011NLD organisation to cope with the costs involved.
Information on the principles of stereoscopy can be found at several different websites. Also, these websites list other meetings being held at a smaller scale. Here are some examples:

The ISU
The International Stereoscopic Union (ISU) was founded in 1975 in Wageningen, The Netherlands, and is the only international 3D association in the world. The ISU is a club of individual 3D enthusiasts as well as a club of stereo clubs. The ISU's members currently number more than 1000 and come from around 40 countries worldwide.
3D-Photography, 3D Video Imaging, Computer Stereo, Digital Stereo Projection, Holography, Virtual Reality and all other stereoscopic photography techniques are used by members of the ISU.
Although the ISU caters mainly to the 3D amateur photographer, the ISU also has much to offer to members who are professional stereo photographers as well as to those who are more involved in the scientific aspects of the stereoscopic image.
The quarterly Journal of the ISU, Stereoscopy - the publication of 3D image-makers, is circulated to all members and is considered to be an important item in cementing the "family" into a coherent whole. Apart from tuition in 3D photographic techniques, the Journal carries information and articles from around the world on new equipment, literature and all manner of related subjects. Many articles are well illustrated with 3D drawings and stereo photos - and since 2007, every issue is printed in full color!
A major activity of the ISU is the organisation of a Congress every second year in one of the major member countries. The ISU is considered a "family" by its members and the biennial Congress is seen as a genuine "family reunion"! New "family members" are always most welcome.
It is easy to become a member of the ISU. Website of the ISU is: http://www.isu3d.org .
