What: Meeting of the North American Cartographic Information Society
Where/ When: Saint Louis, Missouri, 10-13 October 2007 Hilton St. Louis Frontenac

The group (according to Bob) is a very interesting group, a mixture of academics and professional cartographers. The basic orientation is toward producing maps, so there’s a lot about technical map drawing issues–using Adobe Illustrator, etc. But also now more on producing maps online, etc. It’s not about GIS, although most people are conversant with it.
