Dear OSGeo Board members and Conference Committee,

On behalf of the Hiroshima Local Organizing Committee, I would like to 
express our sincere gratitude for selecting Hiroshima as the host city 
for FOSS4G 2026.

We are honored to host the 20th anniversary of OSGeo and the 
OSGeo-organized FOSS4G conference in Hiroshima, and we appreciate the 
significance of this occasion for all involved. Hiroshima, a city known 
for its message of peace and resilience, provides a meaningful setting 
to explore the role of geospatial technology in building a sustainable 
future.

We look forward to working closely with the OSGeo Board, the Conference 
Committee, and the global OSGeo community to create an inclusive and 
engaging conference and make FOSS4G 2026 Hiroshima a valuable experience 
for all.

Once again, thank you for this opportunity. We are committed to making 
this conference a success and look forward to welcoming everyone to 
Hiroshima.

Best regards,
Nobusuke
