In 2021 the State of the Map conference will be held as an online conference again. Stay tuned for further information about calls for participation, the conference format and schedule. In the meantime, please consider signing up for updates via our newsletter, join our telegram group chat and follow us on Twitter.
Overview
State of the Map 2021 is taking place online from July 9 to 11 2021. We have created an exciting program with you – the OpenStreetMap community. The conference will be held on the amazing virtual platform venueless. For the duration of the conference, there will be a video-stream of talks, panels, lightning talks and Q&A sessions. Additionally, there will be chat rooms for discussions and virtual sponsor booths, as well as interactive breakout sessions that can be booked by groups of mutual interest or used without prior planning.
Academic Track
The 2021 edition of the academic track features nine scientific taks on Sunday: five talks in the early time block in the main track, and four additional sessions in a breakout room in the later time block. These talks are indicated with a 🎓 symbol below.
If you want to use an app to get reminders for talks in the schedule, you can use Giggity. More information on schedules for calendars and apps can be found here.
Self organized sessions
Besides the main programme of SotM we offer space for self-organized sessions. A lot of topics are well placed in smaller rounds. The only requirement that we have to your topic is that it has to be related to OpenStreetMap. We use a dedicated OSM wiki page for the organization of such sessions so that everybody is able to jump in without any larger formal barrier. The only requirements we have is that the participants have a conference ticket which grants them access to the conference platform that we use and that they abide to the SotM Code of Conduct.
