The best single source for information is the International Map Trade
Association. They publish a monthly newsletter, and hold regional
conferences and international conferences every year. The next
Americas Region meeting is April in Washington, DC. Their web site is
http://www.maptrade.org and I recommend them to anyone trying to keep
up on the map publishing world.

If you're more interested in GIS, you may get some peripheral info
from IMTA, but there are other professional organizations.
