London/2024 events
Welcome to the list of OpenStreetMap related events in London for 2024
These events are free and open to all. We normally have a mixture of old OpenStreetMap hands and new people coming along to find out more. The events might include mapping, or might include "Q&A" presentations, but mostly we're just sitting around (in a pub?) having a friendly chat about little things like mapping the world and releasing it for free! We hope you'll join us! Everyone and anyone is welcome.
Upcoming Events
Wed 18th Sept - OpenStreetMap Birthday Geomob
On the evening of Wednesday 18th September we'll have very special #geomob event with all OpenStreetMap topics! This is a celebration of OpenStreetMap's 20th birthday and these presentations will be a treat!:
- Pete Masters, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team
- Said Turksever, Open Street Level imagery for improving OpenStreetMap data
- Muki Haklay, The early days of OpenStreetMap
- Anna Zanchetta, AI-assisted mapping of buildings for OpenStreetMap
- Andy Allan, ThunderForest - a business built on OpenStreetMap
Humanitarian mapping events are happening fairly regularly. This page is not going to be the best place to stay up-to-date with those. Follow Missing Maps London on eventbrite. For a long time they were having two events per month, but maybe not since the pandemic.
Future events
We'll use this wiki page to announce events, as well as 
@OSMLondon/.svg){kind=small}
@OSMLondon@en.osm.town
Announcements may come at short notice!
There’s lots of other events in London e.g. tech meet-up groups, for which OpenStreetMap is relevant. Please use the wiki to pro-actively coordinate the setting up of an “OpenStreetMap presence” at these events… or just go along (Other OSMers may or may not be there)
We’ve got a list of London event venues for future events of a non-pub format. Please add to that if you have ideas or if your organisation would like to host or sponsor an event!
