Stay tuned for the full schedule in the coming days. In the meantime, don't forget to get your ticket:
Human-caused climate change intensifies weather events such as heat waves and extreme rainfall. As the climate continues to warm from the emission of heat-trapping gases from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, these weather extremes will also continue to intensify. Meanwhile, human settlements like cities further amplify these climate stressors through their design. These highly altered landscapes are the result of decisions made by urban planners for the last century or more. Here, we'll explore how the historical housing policy known as "redlining" can help us see climate inequity around the US, and how some people and organizations are taking action to equitably adapt to extreme heat in Virginia and around the country.
Dr. Jeremy Hoffman is a dynamic public speaker, accomplished climate scientist, and award-winning educator who connects audiences to the science of climate change impacts, risks, and solutions.
And after you get your tickets...

The planning committee is currently exploring options for making childcare available at this year's event. If you could use child care at State of the Map US, help us out by filling out this short survey.
Become a Sponsor!
Sponsoring is a meaningful way to give back and share in the vision of OpenStreetMap.
Sponsors can now support one of our five conference tracks! In addition to other tier perks, Track sponsors will be acknowledged under the chosen Track on the SOTMUS 2023 website and before each block of talks with that focus.
