NACIS 2024

Are you attending NACIS for the first time and feeling a little overwhelmed? Join your New Attendee Ambassadors (Joanna Merson, Sarah Bell, David Nuttall, and Daniel Wood), Atlas of Design editor Nat Case, and Program Co-chairs Hannah Dormido and Vicky Johnson-Dahl for a special introductory session designed specifically for you. Whether you're looking to make the most of the sessions, connect with fellow cartography enthusiasts, or navigate the event easily, meet us in the Map Gallery for a warm welcome and some pro tips to start your conference off right!

Join together with other attendees to set up an ad hoc informal gathering on a topic that interests you. Maybe you want to discuss your favorite map projections with fellow enthusiasts, or maybe you're a student who wants to create a space to network with other students and share advice. Reserve the NACIS Commons and add whatever you think our conference is missing. A sign-up sheet will be available on-site and reservations are first come, first served.

The Commons area will have with a handful of chairs for group gatherings. When the room is not in use, the Commons also serves as a quieter space to sit and chat away from the more crowded areas.

We're trying something new this year! Have dinner on your own as usual, then join us back at the Hotel Murano for a low-key evening with carto-pals old and new - we’ll have puzzles, board games, and crafts. We also encourage you to bring your mappy games or host map-related activities at our Night In. We’ll meet at the Map Gallery!

If you want to host an activity, you can advertise it on the message board near the registration desk or via the #nacis2024-night-in slack channel.

Note that per hotel regulations, absolutely no outside food allowed. You can order drinks and food from the hotel bar.
