6th Annual LA Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Mapathon

Wow! It's been a while, but guess what?

There's an event coming up and …it's in person over at the Metro Building by Union Station in downtown LA!

MaptimeLA is participating in the 6th Annual Humanitarian Mapathon!
(hosted by USC, UCLA, and Metro in California, FAU in Germany and Reitaku University in Japan!)

It's a 3 day event, Tuesday April 18 - Thursday April 20 where there will be training both online and in-person on how to use OpenStreetMap with talks from fellow mappers!

Tuesday April 18, is when Maptimers wanting to meet, greet and map together are welcome over at the Metro building. Make sure you RSVP on Meetup for figuring out refreshments. The remaining 2 days will be online. See https://mapathon.la/ for agenda and details.

Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you have mapping experience or not! Just bring your laptop and we'll get you onboarded and mapping right away!

It will be a free mapping competition in support of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). Our goal is to map 20,000 buildings for areas around the world where data is needed to help save or improve lives.

Unable to attend in-person?
This is a hybrid event and training will be provided. Visit the Mapathon website to register and for additional event details: https://mapathon.la/.

See you then!
