Please see the links to the 'Guidelines' for those organizing a future International Conference on the History of Cartography, via: http://www.maphistory.info/ichcintro.html The Guidelines, which have recently been updated, set out the requirements for a successful conference and are intended to assist potential hosts to prepare a strong case. Please see the document, 'Hosting an international conference' and note that there are no longer any stated geographical limitations. Those considering hosting the 2017 conference should contact the Chairman, Imago Mundi Ltd., Tony Campbell, 76 Ockendon Road, London Nl 3NW, UK, ([log in to unmask]), as soon as possible for further details. Formal proposals need to be submitted by 1 December 2013. It is hoped to announce the results no later than spring 2014. [Given that Joost Depuydt has only just circulated his announcement about the 2015 conference in Antwerp it may seem a little premature to be considering the one that is to take place two years afterwards. However, organizing an ICHC requires several years preparation.] Tony Campbell ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Chairman, Imago Mundi Ltd and coordinator of the International Conferences on the History of Cartography (ICHC) [log in to unmask] ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
