Welcome to Riga! Yes, that would be a city that hosts our next State of the Map Baltics conference, inviting everybody from Baltic states and beyond to share their ideas and experience related to OpenStreetMap. We have two days this time: 8-9 June 2023. Two days of talks, workshops and meeting new map people at the University of Latvia!

This SotM is a part of the Baltic Geospatial Information Technology Conference. We cannot thank them enough for letting us borrow a room for OSM-related talks. Which also means, if you get bored of these, you can attend any of the other tracks to listen to more specialized topics. Also it means we’ve got a serious conference and you have to register to attend.

Register now!

After doing all of the above, it’s time to book a flight, choose a hotel and add some bookmarks to your mobile map. We’ve got a page just for that:

Travel, accomodation, the venue
