Since 1974, AutoCarto has been the premier conference that focuses on cartographic and geospatial research. The AutoCarto 2012 conference, the 17th in the series, was held in Columbus, OH, September 16-18, 2012. It was attended by about 120 researchers, experts, developers, teachers, and students who represent major elements of the international geospatial research community from academia, government, and the private sector. The emphasis of the conference was on exchanging and discussing innovative ideas, methods, and concepts via presentations, poster sessions, and informal discussion.
With 2 excellent plenary speakers, over 60 papers in 18 sessions, posters, and a joint panel session with the GIScience conference it was a great, productive symposium! Check out the Program below.
Jointly sponsored by the ICA Commission on Maps and the Internet and the ICA Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies.
