The first two days of the Conference, 22 and 23rd of September, will be held in Tallinn, with a boat ride on the evening of the 23rd taking all participants to Helsinki, Finland for the last two days of the Conference, the 24th and 25th of September. Yes, two countries: Estonia, a world leader in the use of technology in government and business, and Finland, recognized worldwide for its quality of education. Join the concept mapping community and visit two countries, know two cultures, visit Old Town in Tallinn, visit schools and learn about Finland's educational system, and meet concept-mappers from all over the world! 

The Conference is aimed at all persons interested in the use of concept maps, including, but not limited to: facilitation of learning; eliciting, capturing, archiving, and using “expert” knowledge; planning instruction; assessment of “deep” understandings; research planning; collaborative knowledge modeling; creation of “knowledge portfolios”; and administrative planning and monitoring. We expect participants from a broad range of fields presenting a wide variety of research and applications of concept mapping.
