With apologies for cross-posting – an important announcement here from one of sister organisations, the International Cartographic Association. Kindly circulate widely.
Please see the call for submissions for ICC 2017, Washington, D.C., July 2-7, 2017 below and attached. Please distribute as appropriate.
Call for abstracts and paper submissions to ICC 2017.
Abstracts and full papers for review for presentation at ICC 2017 are now being accepted. To begin your submission click here.
The world of cartography and GIS comes to Washington, DC, July 2 to 7, 2017 for the 28th International Cartographic Conference (ICC) of the International Cartographic Association. This call is your opportunity to submit your paper or poster abstract and join other cartographers and geographic information scientists from across the globe. Participate and see the latest innovations and developments in mapping techniques, technological advancements, and current research in cartography and GIScience—conference themes are listed below. The ICC is a unique experience to exchange ideas and encourage collaboration with colleagues from academia, government and industry. This event is a once in a generation opportunity in Washington, D.C., and will not be in the United States again for many years.
Submissions
Submissions are due October 26, 2016.
There are two submission tracks: 1) a full paper that includes a short abstract, or 2) a long abstract only for presentation.
There are two presentation formats: an oral paper or a poster.
A collection of refereed conference papers will be published in a Springer book. These full papers are due October 26, 2016.
Long abstracts will be refereed to decide acceptance of presentations. Authors who submit a long abstract have the option to submit a paper for the online conference proceedings. These papers, which will not be refereed, are due later.
After the conference, selected papers will also be invited for submission to the official ICA journals: The International Journal of Cartography, Cartography and Geographic Information Science, Cartographica, and The Cartographic Journal.
