The members of the Participatory Mapping Working Group are active cartographers, geographers, GIScientists, and Community Activists who work with and/or create participatory mapping products in their work, teaching as well as research.

We have been meeting and working in the area of participatory mapping for several years, and in 2024 we organised a workshop during the European Cartographic Conference (EuroCarto) in Vienna. Our plans for the future include a workshop/session during the ICC in Vancouver 2025, recruiting more members as well as supporting events organised for or by participatory mapping researchers.
