Conference schedule

The preliminary conference program is now available. NACIS 2024 will feature more than 120 Main Conference talks, 29 Practical Cartography Day talks, six panels, and two workshops.

Attention presenters: Acceptance emails were sent out by July 15th. Please confirm your participation by replying to the acceptance email by Monday, July 29th. Carefully review your abstract in the preliminary schedule and make sure it’s no more than 100 words long, or we’ll edit it for you. How it appears in Sched is how it will appear in the print program! If you didn’t receive an acceptance email or you have edits to your abstract, please email [email protected].

Please remember that presenters are required to register for PCD (if presenting on Wednesday) and for main conference (if presenting on Thursday or Friday).

Other conference reminders

The deadline for Map Gallery submissions and Student Print and Dynamic Map Competition entries is August 31st.

Travel grant applications are now open. You can apply here.

Don’t forget to book your hotel room early, as our room block often sells out quickly!

Atlas of Design now available on Amazon

All volumes of the Atlas of Design can now be purchased on Amazon. Whether you’re a cartography connoisseur or just love beautiful maps, you can easily get your hands on our stunning collections. Head over to Amazon and check them out. They also make great gifts! Don’t forget to leave a review and help us spread the word.

List your cartographic company on nacis.org

We’re excited to announce that the NACIS Cartographic Companies directory has been updated to add filtering capabilities and more consistency between entries. I’ve volunteered with NACIS to help make this happen and can’t wait to get all of your information updated so we have an even more user-friendly database for potential clients.

Please fill out this form to add or update your listing. It’s your responsibility to keep your directory listing up to date. Once you’re listed, please contact [email protected] with any changes to help maintain this public resource.

In the past, affiliate memberships were required to be included. We no longer require affiliate memberships, but we do request that (at least) the primary contact of your company have an active NACIS membership in order to be listed.

If you have any questions, please feel free to connect with me directly.
