This page has a collection of lessons learnt from previous International Cartographic Conferences (ICCs). It is intended as a resource to support the local organizing committee (LOC) of an ICC.
ICC FAQs
Delegates
How many delegates can I expect at my ICC?
It depends... on the city and country, for example. At recent ICCs, there were at least 800 delegates. Official reports, statistics, lists of scholarships, rewards, etc. of previous ICCs and RCCs are recorded on the website of the International Cartographic Association, go to 'ICA conferences and events' on the top menu.
What is the split between local and international delegates?
The biggest group of delegates is usually from the local host country. You can probably count on 300-400 international delegates, and the rest will be from your local host country.
Do you have any advice on a tool for managing registrations?
Scientific programme
When should we send out the first call for papers?
The earlier the call is sent out, the better. This gives time to plan submissions and funding to attend the conference.
Do you have advice or suggestions for a tool to use for managing submissions and reviews?
You are free to use any tool of your choice.
For ICC 2023, [EasyChair www.easychair.org] was used. Advantages include that many academics are familiar in EasyChair because it is also used for other conferences. Note that you will probably need to purchase the Professional license for a conference the size of an ICC.
Another (free) option is [Indico https://indico.un.org/], which is used for the RCC, EuroCarto 2024.
