On April 8, 2014 the 39th meeting of SFDP took place in the GISAT company in Prague. It was opened by presentation of the company activities that offers a wide range of standard and user tailored products and services based on data and modern technologies of remote sensing. Brief information about organizational preparation of the ISPRS Congress 2016s in the period November 2013 – April 2014 (editing and the publication of a manual for exhibitors in particular) was also presented there.
