StateoftheMap Organizing Committee

The StateoftheMap Organising Committee is responsible for the organization and execution of the annual OpenStreetMap Foundation Conference "The State of the Map". stateofthemap.org (official site) SotM on the OpenStreetMap wiki Announcements are usually made on the OSM blog and on Twitter.

Status: Active

State of the Map 2019 will take place from the 21-23 September 2019 in Heidelberg, Germany!

You can find all the information about the State of the Map 2018 event that took place in Milan (Italy) at 2018.stateofthemap.org and on the OpenStreetMap wiki.

Regional SotMs are organised exclusively by local teams, not by the OpenStreetMap Foundation: Please note that regional SotMs (such as SotM-Asia, SotM-Africa, SotM-LatAm and others) are organised exclusively by local teams, which run their own sponsorship programs and have separate budgets from the OpenStreetMap Foundation. If you want to contact the organisers of a regional SotM, it is preferable to contact them directly.
