Welcome to State of the Map US 2018 in Detroit
The State of the Map US Organizing Committee is delighted to present over 50 talks on the past, present, and future of OpenStreetMap. Dive deep on the intersection of open mapping and cities, community mapping around the world, routing and transportation, autonomous vehicles, and more.
We are hosting 2 days of talks on October 5th and 6th, then workshops, tours and other activities on the 7th. If you want to be sure not to miss a thing, make sure arrive on Thursday and head out on Sunday evening. Be ready for a mapping packed event!
Does this sound so exciting you want to do more than just attend? We can always use some help organizing. Please send us an email at sotmus@openstreetmap.us to help out!
