What does it take to bring together researchers, historians, and map enthusiasts from across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond?
With just a few months to go before ANZMapS’ Southern Frontiers conference at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart, we have finalised the program, confirmed our speakers, and are now focused on creating a rich, engaging experience for everyone attending.
In this post, we’re offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the conference has come together—from developing the theme, to reviewing the diverse range of papers submitted, to assembling an exciting line-up of speakers and activities.
Choosing MONA as our venue wasn’t simply about location. It reflects our commitment to hosting the conference in a space known for pushing boundaries, challenging assumptions, and sparking conversation.
