The Central Coast GIS Users Group (http://www.orurisa.org/2015_Cartography_Symposium) is pleased to invite you to the 2015 Cartography Symposium by the Sea on Friday, September 25th at the Oregon Coast Community College in Newport, OR. Register here: https://ccgisug2015cartography.eventbrite.com
Leading cartographers will cover a variety of different guidelines and principles to help make your maps the envy of all your friends. We all know a great map when we see it, but what are the principles behind making a good map yourself? GIS has impacted map making for both better and worse from a time honored handmade labor, to mass producing large, data filled maps in minutes. This all-day symposium will introduce you to the basic principles of cartography, guidelines you can follow for nearly every map, and tips and tricks for making your map fabulous. More details, including the agenda, are available on the symposium website (http://www.orurisa.org/2015_Cartography_Symposium).
Lunch and snacks are included in the registration fee ($35). If this registration fee is difficult for you, please contact us for alternate options. In an effort to reduce waste we will not be providing individual bottled water this year. Please consider bringing a reusable water bottle or other container for drinking water during the symposium. We will also have cups available in case you forget. Thank you!
