INVITATION

The IOF Map Commission welcomes you to the 11th International Conference on Orienteering Mapping that will take place in conjunction with the World Orienteering Championships in Aichi, Japan. The conference has become a traditional biennial event where map makers from around the world discuss and share information about the latest: mapping standards, techniques and developments in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

We are convinced that the 11th ICOM will live up to the successes of its predecessors. The programme has been arranged to make it possible for you to take part in the public races and other important events.

Once again, the IOF Map Committee welcomes you to Toyota City, Japan and we look forward to meeting you there.
