Overview

State of the Map 2018 is taking place from July 28th to 30th 2018 in Milan, Italy. We have created an exciting program with you—the OpenStreetMap community. For the duration of the conference, we have space set aside that can be booked by groups of mutual interest, or used without prior planning.

  • July 28th: conference begins with a keynote speech, followed by a day of presentations, workshops and an evening social event
  • July 29th: day 2 of more presentations and workshops covering the latest topics of OpenStreetMap. Plus a whole track of academic talks selected by our scientific committee.
  • July 30th: the final day continues to ask big questions, and culminates with the annual OSM Awards in the closing session

There will be plenty of breakout rooms throughout for discussions, code, documentation sprints, mapping and workshops.
