Programme
A full and engaging programme has been planned for GeoCart'2026. The format will follow a similar schedule to past conferences. Four Keynotes will present to the entire group, while morning and afternoon oral presentations will be split between concurrent sessions. Other highlights include the NZCS Map Awards and the popular Map Swap (pack an extra bag to take some goodies home)!
Wednesday evening will feature the Ice Breaker reception, this year to be held at the Southern Cross Garden Bar. The Gala Dinner will commence on Thursday evening at Dockside Restaurant & Bar. Also on Thursday is a new cartography showcase session: Quickfire Cartography.
GeoCart conferences are a wonderful venue to meet and get to know New Zealand's cartographic and geospatial community. Come join us and experience all the great things on offer at GeoCart'2026.
