I’m just back from Redlands California (Esri HQ) and 3 days of a “Cartography Summit.” This was a small meeting considering the future of cartography and mapping, divided into three topics: Data, Design, and Media. I gave a lightening talk on “Designing Geoprivacy in the Age of Big Data.”

There was great back channel on Twitter, and you can sort through the tweets there with hashtag #cartosummit. The talks were also livestreamed and recorded for later playback, and I think the slide decks will be available. They key tweeter was Stephen Smith, @themapsmith, so just check his TL for details.

Esri generally was discreet (this wasn’t an Esri-themed event after all), Jack dropped in occasionally, and it was nice to be in 85F (dry) weather for a few days.

Here we are!
