[Talk-us] SOTM US schedule

I'm thinking about attending SOTM US and looking at possible flights. SOTM website says the conference is July 23-July 25, but the program only has July 23 and 24. http://stateofthemap.us/program/ Is there some program for July 25, such as hackathon or something? Cheers, Katie -- Katie
