We have contacted hotels/hostels in Amsterdam to seek accommodations for the participants to the 4th FIG Young Surveyor Meeting in Amsterdam on the 7-9th June, 2016. You can see them on this map the hotels that we can recommend to you, so you can find a place to stay without going through the trouble of finding it yourself. Of course you still can search for yourself though, but we think it might be nice to recommend some places that offers discounts to the participants in the event.
