INVITATION

INVITATION AND CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

The IOF Map Commission welcomes you to the 12th International Conference on Orienteering Mapping that will take place in conjunction with the World Orienteering Championships in Kiev, Ukraine. The conference has become a traditional biennial event where map makers from around the world discuss and share information about the latest: mapping standards, techniques and developments in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
We are convinced that the 12th ICOM will live up to the successes of its predecessors. The programme has been arranged to make it possible for you to take part in the public races and other important events.
The Map Commission would like to focus on generalisation in the 12th ICOM, but are also soliciting presentations on other topics of interest to the world’s community of orienteering mappers.
The map exhibition will also focus on generalisation, so we are looking for maps of complex terrain that requires a lot of generalisation.
Suggestions for both topics and presentations are welcome. Please send your proposals to IOF Map Commission, Flemming Hjorth Jensen (fhj@kms.dk) before 1 July 2007. If you are suggesting presentations, please specify both the title of the presentation, the presenter, and a brief synopsis of the presentation.
Once again, the IOF Map Commission welcomes you to Kiev, Ukraine and we look forward to meeting you there.

PROGRAMME

The conference will take place in Kiev. The exact location will be published at the IOF Map Commission Web Site. We are aiming for a location close to, or at the suggested hotel for IOF delegates and guests.
If you send an email to fhj@kms.dk you will be informed directly about the location in Kiev.
