It is my honour and pleasure to welcome all of you to the forthcoming 10th South East Asian Survey Congress 2009 (SEASC 2009).
On behalf of Indonesia, as the host country, the National Coordinating Agency for Surveys and Mapping – BAKOSURTANAL – as the Local Organizing Committee, humbly invite all related and relevant organization and companies, professionals and individuals, to join, participate and support this event.
“Integrating geo-information islands” has been chosen as the theme of this South East Asian Survey Congress in Bali, Indonesia. There is no better place to have a congress with this theme other than in the largest archipelagic country in the world. Indonesia symbolizes the efforts of integrating many islands into a united archipelago without erasing special characteristics of each island. Globally, the world is facing many issues that could not be overcome unless by mutual collaboration among organization and countries in the region through this kind of event and gathering.
Read more about the event and its' programme in this comprehensive website, for your traveling plan and schedule. The organizer has provided a wide range of activities, programme and hospitalities for your cosiness and business purpose.
Till we meet in Bali this forthcoming August 2009.
Ir. Rudolf W. Matindas, M.Sc.
Head of BAKOSURTANAL

The island of Bali is part of the Republic of Indonesia and is located 8 to 9 degrees south of the equator between Java in the West and Lombok and the rest of the Lesser Sunda Islands (Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba and Timor) in the East. Flying time to Jakarta is about 1.5 hours, to Singapore and Perth (Australia) 2.5 and 3 hours, to Hong Kong about 4.5 hours, and to Sydney/Melbourne about 5.5 to 6 hours.
Don't look for "Bali" in airline time tables. It's listed as "Denpasar" (DPS) which is the name of the island's capital. However, from Bali's international Ngurah Rai Airport it takes you just 15 to 30 minutes by car to Kuta, Legian, Sanur and Nusa Dua, and in about 50 to 60 minutes you can be in Ubud.
