Dear friends, on the occasion of the 24th International Cartographic Conference, I give a warm greeting to all the participants present. It is a great honour to lead the organization of the ICC 2009, an event that constitutes the convergence of many sectors in the seach for the geo-spatial solutions required by the world community, the public presentation of the most recent cartographic technologies and a
milestone of great scientific significance for the world. Without doubt your work will be of great use to all specialists, providing new ideas and
encouraging the technological tendencies that

Welcome Message from the
President of the International
Cartographic Association
Dear colleagues, in November 2009 the International Cartographic Association will hold its conference in Santiago, Chile. This is an opportunity to keep abreast with the latest scientific and technical
developments in our profession. As well, it provides the possibility to meet Chilean colleagues. The
conference in Santiago provides the opportunity, for the first time, for the activities of the ICA to be showcased in South America. On behalf of the International Cartographic Association, I welcome you to the ICC2009 in Santiago, the 24th conference of the International Cartographic Association. I look forward to seeing you in Chile in 2009.
Regards,
William Cartwright
President
