OpenStreetMap US invites you to chart the course with the mapping community at State of the Map US 2025 on June 19–21 in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Mappiest Event of the Year
State of the Map US is the largest gathering of OpenStreetMap community members from across the country. This year we’re spotlighting the successes and challenges of mobility mapping with the theme “Charting the Course”.
Come connect with mappers, businesses, academics, government agencies, and nonprofits, all collaborating around the free and editable map of the world. Share your vision for the project, learn how to work with OpenStreetMap, and hack on the latest open source tools.
Whether you’re brand new to open mapping or you’re an OpenStreetMap veteran, this conference is for you. We’re excited to see you in Boston.
