In my talk at SOTM I mentioned a further conference for anyone<br>
interested in cartography in the wider sense than just the OSM field. I<br>
would encourage you to have a look at the programme and consider <br>
attending some or all of this excellent networking opportunity, and to<br>
also listen to AND INFLUENCE "traditional cartographers".<br>
Artem Pavlenko and Nick Black are both giving presentations, and will be <br>
sharing a platform with the People's Map project (should be<br>
interesting!).<br>
