AutoCarto is the world’s premier research symposium on cartography and GIScience, with its focus on the intersection of the two. The theme, Where Next, challenges the ideas of where and next in terms of meaning, communication, visualization, and reasoning in this new age of automation, the robotic revolution, and artificial intelligence (AI). Planning for AutoCarto 2020 is well underway. Here are a few highlights of what’s to come. For further details, see the conference website: https://cartogis.org/autocarto.
