Share your best tips: Write your own NGC Map Tutorial!

Datetime September 8, 2026 at 9:00 AM-11:00 AM GMT+2
Type Pre-Conference Workshop

Do you have some expertise on certain parts of map-making, or know of a secret hack to create awesome maps? Maybe tips on how to make labels more legible, how to choose accessible fonts for people with dyslexia, how to process certain raster data sets to gain insights or how to create a specific geo-visualisation for the web? Then we would like to offer you to share your knowledge in the form of a Next Generation Cartographers (NGC) map tutorial. At this workshop we will guide you through the process of writing a tutorial: from the ideation to the structure, over the writing to the wrap-up. You can either come with a topic in mind, or we will help you team up with another workshop participant based on your interests.

NGC map tutorials are a freely available collection of tips and tricks for map-makers in an accessible language. Once submitted and reviewed, NGC map tutorials are published on our website, accessible to all. The NGC map tutorials are an initiative of the Next Generation Cartographers, which is a group dedicated to advocacy, support and mentorship for early career cartographers within academic and professional cartography, and a working group of the International Cartographic Association.
