Free upgraded Carto accounts for IRE members

**October 9, 2018 update: Starting today, Carto will no longer offer free account upgrades to IRE members. This will not affect anyone who previously received an upgrade.

Today IRE is announcing a partnership with Carto to provide upgraded accounts free to IRE members, who can use Carto to analyze data and tell stories with interactive maps.

Upgraded accounts include features from Carto's paid accounts:

• More space (about 500MB)
• Private data tables and sync tables (for syncing external data sources that are updated at regular/irregular intervals)
• 30% discount for any account upgrades

You must have an existing Carto account before requesting the free upgrade. Sign up for free here. To upgrade your account, email cartodb@ire.org with the subject line: "Carto upgrade."
