Important Dates

Nowadays, we are living in a transitional era in thefield of cartography. With the latest technology,
maps are not only for professionals to study andexplore, but are widely used among the generalpublic. Japan, with the uniqueness of the use ofmaps and the cutting edge technology in mapping,would surely offer every delegate a new and fruitfulexperience during the Conference.
The Conference venue will be the National Museumof Emerging Science and Innovation, located in
the beautiful Tokyo bay area. The area is wheresome of the main facilities of the 2020 Olympic
and Paralympic Games will be located, sure to besome of the most attractive spots in Tokyo. The
Museum is equipped with excellent space for ourconference sessions, map exhibition and technicalexhibition.
Greater Tokyo, although a metropolis with over 37
million citizens, is known to be the one of the safest
cities in the world. The City has various charms tovisit and experience, from historical monuments tomuseums to theatres. Shopping in large department
stores as well as small shops on the tiny streets is
another enjoyable moment. Tokyo is also known for
its gourmet, with over 100,000 restaurants themost Michelin stars in the world. The proposed
date of the Conference is July, which will be justafter the end of the rainy season, and summer in
the northern hemisphere.
I look forward to welcoming you all to Tokyo for
ICC 2019 to share significant scientific findings aswell as cultural experiences. I am confident thatyou will all enjoy the Japanese hospitality in Tokyo.
Sincerely,

Cartographic
