First time in about 25yrs I've missed a BCS conference but that's what happens when multiple carto orgs schedule conferences against one another. We really need better coordination to prevent this cannibalisation. Have fun in Edinburgh. Waving from Brno 👋 #carto2026 #EuroCarto2026
The venue is all set for an amazing conference day of talks, sessions, networking and awards. Please ask anyone with an orange lanyard if you have any questions about the society or want to know how to volunteer too.
