Overview

State of the Map Asia 2024 is taking place from November 30th to December 1st 2024 in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. We have created an exciting program with you—the OpenStreetMap community. For the duration of the conference, we have space set aside that can be booked by groups of mutual interest, or used without prior planning.

  • November 30th: conference begins with a keynote speech, followed by a day of presentations, workshops and an evening social event
  • December 1st: the final day continues to ask big questions, and culminates with the annual OSM Awards in the closing session

There will be plenty of breakout rooms throughout for discussions, code, documentation sprints, mapping and workshops.

Note:

  • Every session including 5 minutes QA session
  • Schedule may change based on program.
