Spring conference presentations
This spring, we have caught up with many of you at a number of conferences. The presentations we gave at the conferences are now posted on the Other Resources page here on Mapping Center. Here's a rundown of our latest activities... In April, we attended the Association of American Geographers meeting in Boston. There we gave a presentation on "Web Delivery of Cartographic Concepts and Best Practices". Then we saw some of you at Carto 2008, jointly sponsored by the Canadian Cartographic Association and the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives. At this meeting, held in Vancouver, BC, we presented an updated version of our "Evolution or Devolution of Cartographic Education" presentation and "Teaching Map Design using Mapping Center". Most recently we attended Digital Mapping Techniques '08 in Moscow, Idaho. There we gave a presentation on "ESRI Cartographic Representations for the FGDC Digital Cartographic Standard for Geologic Map Symbolization".
We really enjoy meeting with you at these events, and we look forward to seeing you at the UCGIS and other meetings in the near future!
