North American Cartographic Information Society

North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) is a US-based cartographic society founded in 1980. It was founded by and for academics interested in cartography (e.g. map librarians, cartography professors and cartography lab directors). It now represents a broad mixture of academic, government and commercial interests, with a sizeable proportion of working cartographers.

The membership is largely from the United States, though a small steady international presence can be felt.

NACIS hosts an annual conference in the fall at a variety of locations around North America.
