On behalf of SotM 2022 Organising Committee
Background:
After two successful online editions, we are excited to announce that State of the Map 2022 will take place in-person in Firenze, Italy on August 19-21, as well as online!
SotM 2022 will be a 3-day hybrid conference making it possible to take part in the annual global celebration of OpenStreetMap either in-person or online, or both.
The conference will take place before the FOSS4G 2022 conference, which is also in Firenze on August 22 to 28, 2022. The local team is committed to providing participants with a safe conference environment in accordance with the latest safety and health guidelines set by authorities.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in the SotM 2022 Call for Logo! We received more than 15 proposals from creative contributors from all over the world!
…however, only one design will be the new face of this year’s conference!
Congratulations to Feye Andal for submitting the winning logo inspired by the symbol of the City of Firenze, the iconic lily!
After carefully considering and reviewing the bids for SotM 2023, the SotM WG has decided not to organize an international State of the Map 2023. Instead, the WG will focus efforts on finding a perfect venue for 2024 in Africa – or if there is no possibility in Africa for 2024, the WG will look for a country in a region which was underrepresented in the history of SotMs.
The Call for Venue for SotM 2024 will be opened by early 2023.
