Has anybody ever attended an ICC? Is it worthwhile? I've got the impression it's heavy on the academic site. I'm seriously considering submitting a paper, I'd love to hear about any experiences you guys have.

I was in A Coruna ICC last year. It was a big cartographic event (cca. 2000 participants) but ICC is more academic than practical cartography event. It is good too be at such event just to see where some parts of cartography are heading. If you are interested in cartographic generalization (I think it was the largest group of papers) then you have to attend. The most enjoyable and also the least formal is Mountain Cartography section, but the main event of this section is Mountain Cartography Workshop every two years. This year it was held in Bohinj (Slovenia) and in 2008 it will take place in Swiss. It is intensive four day event with 30-40 participants where each participant presents a paper and usually also some of his work.
I will probably skip ICC in Moscow. For me it is too big event and it is really hard to attend all oral presentations that I'm interested in. And I have to mention that participants from China never came and held their presentations with very interesting titles. I was was dissapointed.
