Preparing for 2013 in Dresden - From Pole to Pole

摘要

Dresden is ready! Joining the ranks of those cities around the world which have hosted International Cartographic Conferences (ICCs), Dresden in Germany is preparing to welcome up to 2,000 international scientists and practitioners from more than 50 countries. The 26th ICC will take place in August 2013. The most recent ICCs were held in Moscow (2007), Santiago de Chile (2009) and Paris (2011), and the subsequent one will be organised in Rio de Janeiro (2015). Asa comparatively small city, Dresden is honoured that the Executive Committee of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) decided to choose the capital of the Free State of Saxony, Germany.
