International Conference on Crisis Mapping ICCM 2010

[Sophia Liu]

Just thought I would pass along information about this conference on crisis mapping. This will be the second annual ICCM with a theme on Haiti and Beyond.

====================================

The International Conference on Crisis Mapping (ICCM 2010): Haiti and Beyond is now Open for Registration!

When: Friday, October 1, 2010

Where: Boston, MA

The agenda is available here, and you can register here.

ICCM 2010 follows the highly successful ICCM 2009 event which brought together many of the actors currently responding in Haiti and beyond to foster a dynamic network of action-oriented collaboration. Participants called ICCM 2009 one of the very best conferences they'd been to. This video on Conference Highlights may explain why. ICCM 2010 will include Ignite Talks, Keynotes and a Tech/Analytics Fair. We expect up to 500 participants to attend given the proximity of Harvard, MIT, etc., and major tech companies in the area. We will send out a "Call for Ignite Talk proposals" and "Tech/Analytics Fair applications" in June.

Early bird registration fees are $100 (standard) and $50 for students before August 1. You can register here. This fee covers access to all Friday events. Note that these are nonrefundable and waivers are not available. For hotel accommodation, please reserve your room at the Sheraton where a block of discounted rooms has been set aside for you. We recommend you book early.  

Thanks for reading, we look forward to repeating the great success of ICCM 2009 with you!

All the best,
Patrick & Jen
