Our partners at the United Nations shared in today’s blog post on OpenStreetMap.us what excites them about hosting this years’ State of the Map US:

“Many of the benefits that OpenStreetMap offers are issues that are close to the heart of the United Nations: to empower nations and individual citizens, to facilitate economic progress and to create a level playing field where all have access to accurate and up-to-date information. OpenStreetMap is already being used by the UN in disaster management and emergency response and there are many more fields where it could provide great value.”

I would love to see you at the conference http://stateofthemap.us/
