LETTER

Invitation to Warsaw

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to Warsaw and Poland to attend the 33rd International Cartographic Conference in 2027.
ICC 2027 is the largest and most important global cartographic conferences organized under the auspices of the International Cartographic Association (ICA). The conference will bring together not only cartographers and GIS experts, but also researchers, innovators, and industry leaders from geoinformatics, computer science, smart cities, defense, transportation, telecommunications, and other fields where maps and digital representations of the world play a critical role.

As we navigate an era defined by information, our featured theme – “Big Data Cartography: Understanding More Than Ever Before”- seeks to bridge technological innovation and social impact while keeping human knowledge and expertise at the center. ICC 2027 in Warsaw will go beyond traditional boundaries, creating a platform where cartography connects disciplines, industries, and ideas.

We invite you to spend time within the historic walls of our closely collaborating universities—the University of Warsaw and the Warsaw University of Technology—where we combine geographical, social, and technical perspectives on cartography and, more broadly, geoinformation. In addition to exchanging experiences, presenting scientific and practical achievements, and establishing new professional contacts, you will also have the opportunity to learn more about Poland, Warsaw, and other cities. Poland, located in the heart of Europe, offers beautiful sandy beaches along the Baltic Sea, the breathtaking Tatra Mountains, and the remarkable region of the Great Masurian Lakes.

We are proud of our distinguished compatriots, whose legacy you can encounter during your stay. Nicolaus Copernicus, Fryderyk Chopin, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, John Paul II, Lech Wałęsa, and Robert Lewandowski are just a few of the internationally recognized figures associated with Poland. Warsaw, in turn, is a city where modernity meets history. It offers numerous museums and monuments, a unique and dynamic atmosphere, a wide selection of restaurants and cafés, many recreational areas, and even a sandy beach close to the city center. We will make every effort to ensure that your participation in the International Cartographic Conference is both fulfilling and memorable.

We look forward to welcoming you to Warsaw in July 2027!

Best regards,

ICC 2027 takes place across two distinguished Polish universities, both in the heart of the city - minutes apart, centuries of academic tradition combined.

The photograph shows the monumental, eclectic Main Building of the Warsaw University of Technology on a bright, sunny day. The symmetrical façade, in a pastel shade of light pink, is characterised by rounded wings and rich architectural ornamentation. In the central section, three large, tall arched windows and a grand entrance staircase are visible. At the very top of the building, above the inscription ‘POLITECHNIKA’, stands a distinctive sculptural group. In front of the building lies a paved square, where passers-by and students stroll, whilst on either side urban greenery and trees are visible against a backdrop of a blue sky with white clouds.
