    GeoCart'2020 Cancellation Notice

    With so much uncertainty around COVID-19's impact in the weeks and months ahead, the NZCS and GeoCart Committees have made the difficult decision to cancel GeoCart'2020.  Rather than wait for 2022, a special GeoCart conference will now be held in April 2021.  Please watch this page and the GeoCart website for more details coming soon.

    Both committees wish to thank everyone for their continued support of the GeoCart conferences. Although we must wait a bit longer before coming together again, GeoCart'2021 will be just as fantastic as 2020 would have been.

    Kia kaha.  Stay safe and well.
