CaGIS is pleased to announce AutoCarto 2008, an international research symposium on computer-based cartography. The seventeenth in the AutoCarto series, the symposium will be held at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, USA--only an hour from Washington D.C.’s Dulles International Airport (see: http://training.fws.gov). Join us in September 2008 at this exciting conference to explore new research and innovation in cartography and geographic information science.
CaGIS invites cartographers, geographers, geospatial analysts, GIScientists, and others conducting research on the cutting edge of the geospatial sciences to submit paper abstracts and posters on a variety of topics, as well as websites demonstrating an innovative cartographic application or method.
The conference will meet September 8-10. Workshops will be given on September 10th and 11th. ICA commissions meetings are scheduled for September 10th and 11th. There will also be an announcement of the CaGIS Distinguished Career and other awards presented by CaGIS during 2008.
