Event of Interest, Society of Cartographers annual conference (UK)

Reader Steve of Middlesex University has shared details of an interesting event with me and I'm glad to pass along details to you. Save the date, Sept 1-4 at Aberdeen University
The event will feature presentations and hands-on workshop by Paul Hardy of ESRI Europe on the latest cartographic features of ArcGIS 9. Other presentations to be enjoyed include ones on changing coastlines, 3D panoramas, kayak mapping, and cycle mapping - with presenters including Tom Patterson (US National Parks Service), Ed Parsons (Google), and Professor Danny Dorling (University of Sheffield). The Programme includes many interesting topics, workshops and networking opportunities and much more, all for a reasonable fee.
