<div>There's a bunch of buzz going around about State of the Map being in the US of A this year!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here's your chance to tell us what you'd love to see.</div>
<div>If you have been to State of the Map before, chime in and tell us your highlights and lowlights.</div>
<div>Put it all out there.</div>
<div>This conference is a far cry from a boring businessman's get together. It's a mix of sharing, education, brain dump collaboration, hack fest, very social, very fun experience every mapper should be at. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And above 'just' attending, how about submitting a paper about something you want to talk about!</div>
<div>It could be something you've done relevant to OSM and how others can learn from it. It can be a round table discussion suggestion on something you've been curious about and want to encourage more thought. Be creative! You can find out the details here: <a href="http://stateofthemap.org/call-for-papers">http://stateofthemap.org/call-for-papers</a>/</div>

<div>We are also looking for sponsorship to make this great event possible. There are several levels to get involved at and it is a unique platform to promote your company in front of openstreetmap (open source, and geo too!) minded folks. Email the SotM group
for more information at <a href="mailto:sponsor@stateofthemap.org">sponsor@stateofthemap.org</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Don't forget we have travel discounts! Check it out: <a href="http://stateofthemap.org/travel-discounts">http://stateofthemap.org/travel-discounts</a>/</div>
