Cartography Special Interest Group

The Cartography Special Interest Group (Carto SIG) is an active community of people dedicated to discussing cartography issues with Esri product teams, users, and other interested colleagues. Carto SIG meetings are held at the Esri International User Conference and we invite all interested cartographers to join us. All maps entered into the Map Gallery are eligible for the Carto SIG Map Awards and all members are eligible to serve on the map judging panel.

By joining Carto SIG, you benefit from the intellectual collaboration and personal inspiration of your peers. Work with your colleagues and Esri staff to help determine cartographic functionality in Esri software.

Regional User Groups

Consider building a Carto SIG chapter in your region to connect with other GIS users in your area. Just speak with someone in your regional office or local distributor. Find a user group here.
