International Map Industry Association and Directions Magazine Announce
the .MAP Conference
Leading Organizations for Mapping and Geographic Information Systems
Create Event to bring the World of Print and Digital Mapmakers together
April 08, 2013 – Glencoe, IL and Mission Viejo, CA - In 2013, the
International Map Industry Association (IMIA) and Directions Magazine
will collaborate on a new event that brings the world of mapmakers
together. The global conference, serving also as the IMIA’s annual
event, will be held September 08 - 10 at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The objective of the conference is to gather professionals engaged in
creating maps and mapping applications from both the print and digital
world to explore new ways to deliver content, derive revenue, and design
maps for a new audience in web, mobile and print. Mapmakers of the world
will gather in one place to exchange ideas on how to better serve a
growing audience for geographic information and present that information
in a variety of formats including digital print, 3D printing, Internet
portals, and mobile form factors.
“As more people find new ways to use geographic information the
responsibility to present that information in an understandable way
rests with professionals in our community,” said Joe Francica, editor in
chief of Directions Magazine. “Digital mapmakers must be cognizant that
applications for mobile form factors and social networking apps must
adhere to cartographic standards. As such there will be new methods of
publishing and new business models to consider.”
“The new event is a tremendous opportunity for our membership to bring
our collective knowledge of mapmaking to a new audience of digital
cartographers working in Internet and mobile mediums,” said David
Knipfer, president of IMIA (Americas).
