This event is being hosted on Zoom. When you RSVP, you will receive a confirmation message with the links to both sessions.

Help co-create the webinar by submitting questions for the panelists here.

Join our webinar to hear from a diverse panel of people who identify as women from the Open Mapping ecosystem as they discuss the current state of sexism and misogyny within the map and associated communities, as well as how we all can become more anti-sexist and anti-misogynistic.

The first hour of the session will be dedicated to the discussion between the moderator and panelists, with some opportunity for questions from participants. During the final 30 minutes, participants will be invited to join small breakout rooms for continued discussion that invites everyone to share their experiences, concerns, and ideas verbally or through the chat.

There are two sessions so that people in every time zone can attend. You are welcome to attend either or both of them. You must register to attend. You will receive a Zoom link in the confirmation email and in another email the day before the event.
