Date posted: October 13, 2025

Your conference toolkit

As you prepare to travel to Louisville, remember to:

Browse the conference program in Sched and choose which sessions you want to attend

Get the Slack app set up with the NACIS Slack group so you can participate in online conversations

Review our Code of Conduct and always remember that NACIS is nicest

Take a look at the What to Expect page if you’re new to NACIS or returning after a long absence

If you’re presenting at PCD or the Main Conference, please review the presenter guidelines

Double check that you’ve registered for the conference

Can’t make it this year?

We know that some of our members aren’t able to join us in Louisville this year, and we’ll miss you. Hopefully we’ll see you in 2026.

Look for the NACIS Shop

New this year and only available at the conference, a locally-printed conference tee with a pocket! Shirts, cool new stickers, and luggage tags will be available at the NACIS shop located next to the registration desk.

Student editorial volunteer wanted

NACIS is seeking a student volunteer to act as an editorial assistant for Cartographic Perspectives. This volunteer will check references and quotations as articles are prepared for publication. You’ll see behind the scenes of the publication process, be credited on the masthead of one of the primary English-language cartography journals, and receive a small honorarium. See the job listing for details, and reach out to Daniel Huffman with any questions. If you are an educator, please consider sharing this with your students.
