IMCoS Spring ‘Show & Tell’ on Zoom
On Wednesday, February 26th the Society will be having our Spring 2025 ‘Show & Tell’ online event on Zoom, following the same successful pattern already established. This email is our invitation to join the Executive Committee and your fellow members for a stimulating and enjoyable time together. Start time is once again 6pm UK time. Another great line-up of Presenters will each have 5–10 minutes to share about a specific map or globe.
We usually have a taster regarding a major development in the world of Cartography if we can. You may recall Daniel Crouch on the Armada maps he rediscovered and Rodney Kite Powell on the Cortes letter and map sent to the King of Spain. This year, in conjunction with Venice in Peril, we have a presentation on the conservation of a major Coronelli Globe. We also aim for variety – with 7 mainly new presenters this time, looking at maps ranging from a Blaue map of a French region to a Lufthansa air map ‘with a Cold War twist’.
Register now!
So now it is time to register if you wish to join the event as a participant. Note that presenters need to register too! Just follow this link:
As soon as you have completed the very brief Registration Form, you will receive an automated confirmation of your intent to attend and will also receive a ‘reminder’ email the day before the ‘Show & Tell’ takes place. Both confirmation and reminder will contain the Zoom joining link. Zoom does not have to be downloaded to join in. (This year, I am also putting it on the EventBrite page, but do ask you to USE THE ONE SENT, since things can expire or change.)
Open to all
Please share widely. Yet again, IMCoS would like to extend this invitation to participate beyond our own membership. Feel free to circulate this email and link to members of other map societies who you feel may be interested.
Summary
Zoom Meeting on Wednesday, February 26th at 6pm UK time. The meeting will be chaired. There will be time for questions during the presentations – if the presenter has taken less than 10 minutes on the initial share! I will indicate each time whether this is feasible or not. The language of the event is English.
Participants will be provided with a short bio on each presenter. Brief details of the cartographic items will accompany this. There is no need to say a word – or even be seen if you do not wish to be. Just listening in is still welcome participation. And of course, you can leave the meeting whenever you need to.
I trust that we will see you on the 26th.
Dr Mike Sweeting
Chairman
On behalf of the Executive Committee
