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 Lola Rouge inside the Naumi Hotel.  On Friday, to conclude the week, will be a new cartographic deconstruction session, I Mapped It My Way.

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.

The full schedule for the conference will be available in online timetable and PDF formats.  Links will be published here prior to the conference.

A social gathering to kick off the conference in style. Come, break the ice and get to know your fellow conference attendees! Enjoy an evening of drinks and nibbles in the friendly and quirky Southern Cross Garden Bar.

The Gala Dinner for GeoCart'2026 will be announced soon.
