About State of the Map
In recent years the annual OpenStreetMap conference
State of the Map
has attracted 300-400 attendees.
Normally it runs for three days; the weekend plus either Friday or Monday.
SotM has started in a traditional conference format. But we also have some unconference elements which we appreciate.
Our vision is sufficiently broad to accept all styles of bid - we're open to new ideas if you provide a compelling case.
In 2020 and 2021 SotM was virtual due to Covid, which allowed much more people to attend.
We want to stay with that new virtual format and put it together with our traditional conference format.
Thus SotM 2022 was held in a hybrid manner, which we want to continue
How to apply for SotM 2023

Key dates
Call for venues open: 27th June 2022
Submit your proposal by: 27th August 2022
We try to decide for the venue 2023 in September 2022 (we will inform the teams immediately after the decision).
Announcement of venue 2023 in October 2022
also observe other relevant event dates, e.g. avoid FOSS4G and local SotMs
Fallback: virtual conference
If the covid situation continues in 2023 it could be possible that we have to cancel the in-person conference and organize a virtual conference as we did in 2020 and 2021. If that is the case we expect that the local team of 2023 also support the virtual conference. The intention is to give the virtual conference the local flavour in that case.
