In 2026, Bogota will host the first local State of the Map Colombia. This free, inclusive event will unite mappers, developers, researchers, companies, and social organizations to share innovations using OpenStreetMap-the world's largest open map. By amplifying diverse voices, it empowers communities to create solutions in mobility, environment, education, and urban development.
The event is free and open to all, ensuring inclusivity. To make this possible, we cover accommodation for speakers, lunch for attendees, and aim to support transportation so participants from different regions can join. These costs are significant, and we need help from individuals and organizations to keep the event accessible and impactful.
With your support, we can bring inspiring speakers from different regions, enriching the event with diverse voices. Covering their travel and stay means they don't have to sacrifice personal resources, ensuring true inclusivity. Your contribution makes it possible for everyone to participate, share knowledge, and keep this community growing stronger for future editions.
By ensuring inclusivity-bringing speakers from diverse regions-we set the foundation for future editions to follow the same principles. Sharing and understanding how OpenStreetMap works empowers communities to create new projects in mobility, environment, and volunteering, supporting solutions aligned with global goals and strengthening long-term collaboration.
