GeoCart’2026, Aotearoa New Zealand’s 12th National Cartographic Conference, will convene from 26 to 28 August at the Te Aro campus of Victoria University of Wellington.
The event aims to bring together a wide cross-section of professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts engaged in cartography, map curatorship and research, geovisualisation, and GIS.
Participants at GeoCart’2026 will hear about the latest developments and research, learn about current and upcoming projects and products, network with their counterparts in the greater community, and develop a deeper understanding of cartography and mapping.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 15 May 2026.
In addition to the main conference, there will also be a pre-conference Map Design Workshop that will explore techniques for terrain visualisation, feature symbology and layout composition.
