Regional SotMs are organised exclusively by local teams, not by the OpenStreetMap Foundation:
Please note that regional SotMs (such as SotM-Asia, SotM-Africa, SotM-LatAm and others) are organised exclusively by local teams, which run their own sponsorship programs and have separate budgets from the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
If you want to contact the organisers of a regional SotM, it is preferable to contact them directly.
If you want to organise a regional SotM, please apply for a
SotM quick licence
