It's NACIS 2023 Week
The annual cartography conference descends on the Steel City
A collection of the world’s most talented cartographers, GIS professionals, and geospatial developers are gathering this week in America’s Steel City.
That is because this week is the annual meeting for the North American Cartographic Information Society — NACIS, for short — in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I’ll be in person among those who inspire my own work this week, attending sessions and networking events. I’ll also be presenting at NACIS on Wednesday afternoon during Practical Cartography Day regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence tools within mapping workflows.
This is my second presentation at NACIS. The first was what feels like a LONG four years ago in Tacoma, Washington. It also was my first-ever conference presentation at that:
My goal for this year is to sway a little less while speaking!
If you are interesting in following the conference from afar, @NACIS on Twitter and the hashtag #nacis2023 are worth monitoring. Otherwise, you can check out most of the presentations on the NACIS YouTube channel when they get published after the event.
