The State of the Map conference is the annual, international conference of OpenStreetMap, organised by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. The OpenStreetMap Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation, formed to support the OpenStreetMap Project. It is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free geospatial data for anyone to use and share. The OpenStreetMap Foundation owns and maintains the infrastructure of the OpenStreetMap project, is financially supported by membership fees and donations, and organises the annual, international State of the Map conference. Our volunteer Working Groups and small core staff work to support the OpenStreetMap project. Join the OpenStreetMap Foundation for just £15 a year or for free if you are an active OpenStreetMap contributor.

OpenStreetMap was founded in 2004 and is an international project to create a free map  of the world. To do so, we, thousands of volunteers, collect data about roads, railways, rivers, forests, buildings and a lot more worldwide. Our map data can be downloaded for free by everyone and used for any purpose – including commercial usage. It is possible to produce your own  maps which highlight certain features, to calculate routes etc. OpenStreetMap is increasingly used when one needs maps which can be very quickly, or easily, updated.

    Exciting news from the State of the Map Working Group! The announcement of ticket availability and the program for SotM 2024 is a significant milestone for all OpenStreetMap enthusiasts. It’s fantastic to see the options for both in-person and remote attendance, making the conference accessible to a broader audience. The early bird tickets offer a great opportunity for those planning to attend, and the details about the different ticket types are very helpful.

    The diverse and impressive lineup in the General Track promises an enriching experience for all attendees. I appreciate the effort put into organizing such a comprehensive program and look forward to the updates on the Academic Track.

    Kudos to the team for their dedication and hard work in bringing the OpenStreetMap community together, both in Nairobi and online. It’s wonderful to see how the foundation continues to support the growth and distribution of free geospatial data.

    For those considering getting involved, joining the OpenStreetMap Foundation is a great way to contribute to this incredible project. The foundation’s commitment to maintaining and enhancing OpenStreetMap’s infrastructure and supporting its global community is truly inspiring.

    Looking forward to an insightful and engaging SotM 2024!
