Who is ICA?
The mission of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) is to promote the disciplines and professions of cartography and GIScience in an international context. The International Cartographic Conference (ICC) takes place every second year in one of the member countries. The 2017 meeting in Washington D.C. is the 28th International Cartographic Conference. It is planned and prepared by the US National Committee to the ICA of CaGIS (Cartography and Geographic Information Society) and the associated US organizing committee.
Presentation proposals will be assessed based on the following criteria:
ICC 2017 invites presentations on a wide range of cartographic and geographic information science (GIScience) themes. Submissions will be assessed on their originality, interest to cartographers, and likelihood of advancing the discipline. Submissions may be technical or creative, scientific or experiential, individual or institutional in scope and approach. Submissions and optional papers will be assessed on how well they demonstrate a clear goal of relevance to cartography, use of systematic investigation or methods, completeness of results or recommendations, and significance of conclusions.
