The Society of Cartographers annual conference is to take place at Aberdeen University on 1-4 Sept 2008. We have both a presentation and hands-on workshop by Paul Hardy of ESRI Europe on the cartographic features of ArcGIS 9.
Other presentations include ones on changing coastlines, 3D panoramas, kayak mapping, and cycle mapping – with presenters including Tom Patterson (US National Parks Service), Ed Parsons (Google), and Professor Danny Dorling (University of Sheffield). There is a very full programme that includes many interesting topics, workshops and plenty of networking opportunities. Fees are very reasonable and details of registration and full details of the programme are available at:
