The Barry Lawrence Ruderman Conference on Cartography will feature talks about cartography of above and below the earth's surface.

About this Event

Please join us for the fifth biennial Ruderman Conference on Cartography, to be held October 8-10, 2025 at the David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford University.

Speakers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds and specializations will share their expertise about cartography of anything but the earth's surface, from the ocean's depths to the stars. Keynote speakers include Betsy Mason (freelance science journalist) and Peter Bellerby (Bellerby and Co. Globemakers).

You may attend the conference remotely or in-person. If you're planning to attend in-person, please reserve a ticket for each day you plan to attend, as tickets are for one day only. If booking a remote attendee ticket, it's good for all three days.

Conference speaker info can be found on the Barry Lawrence Ruderman Conference on Cartography website.
