Conceptual Cartography With Mapbox

In the world of modern digital maps, the lines between cartography, art, and web design are blurring. In this workshop, explore this intersection with senior map designer Vanessa Knoppke-Wetzel and cartographer/artist-in-residence Jonni Walker. Take a journey through creative map design and learn new tools for working with location in data, coding, and art.

Mapbox is a live location data platform powering maps and navigation experiences for mobile, web, gaming, and automotive. They maintain SDKs for developers building for Android, iOS, Unity 3D, and web, and APIs for rendering beautiful, custom maps and performing spatial functions.
